Company profile
researched Aug 2026Fullpower Technologies, Inc. (branded Fullpower-AI) is a privately held American developer of cloud-based IoT, wearable and contactless biosensing technology used for activity tracking, sleep monitoring and remote patient monitoring. Founded in 2005 in Santa Cruz, California by Philippe Kahn and Sonia Lee, the company specializes in wireless technology, microelectromechanical systems and nanotechnology, and licenses its patent portfolio and algorithms to device manufacturers rather than selling primarily under its own brand.
The company's platforms include Sleeptracker-AI, a cloud-based sleep-monitoring system able to track two individuals simultaneously, detect snoring, silently adjust a sleeper's head position and elevate the upper body to reduce snoring, and generate a daily sleep report and sleep score; MotionX, a suite of integrated firmware, software and communication components for wearable wireless devices, together with the MotionX-GPS multi-sport navigation applications; and an opioid-monitoring application developed with risk-management company OPOS that uses AI and sleep sensors to track the effect of opioids on patients' sleep cycles. Current offerings are organized around Sleeptracker-AI, clinical trials, sleep clinic solutions, Smart-Bed AI, assisted living and AIoT infrastructure, with a no-code practitioner dashboard, a real-time cloud-to-cloud API, and a generative-AI "KOA" agent that aggregates sensor streams into clinical summaries.
Bloomberg describes the company as providing end-to-end engineering services, software customization and remote patient monitoring solutions for the medical, sleep and wellness sectors, serving B2B customers in Europe, the United States and the United Kingdom.
Founding story
Philippe Kahn and Sonia Lee, who had previously founded and sold Starfish Software and LightSurf, founded Fullpower in Santa Cruz in 2005. Part of the core technology grew out of Kahn's sailing interest: he built prototype sleep trackers using biosensors to optimize 26-minute power naps and maximize time available for sailing.
Business model
Fullpower licenses its intellectual property, algorithms, firmware and cloud platform to manufacturers and healthcare partners, and states that its biosensing and generative-AI SaaS platforms are deployed globally under long-term commercial licenses. It also provides end-to-end engineering services and software customization to B2B customers, and has used a joint-venture structure (Manufacture Modules Technologies with Union Horlogere Holdings) to reach the Swiss watch industry.
Revenue derives from licensing its patented technology and platforms to third-party device and bedding manufacturers under long-term commercial licenses, plus SaaS platform access and engineering/customization services for B2B customers.
Traction
Reported platform scale includes more than 1,500,000 biosensing-connected AI-powered over-the-counter devices, more than 120,000 connected FDA-cleared devices, deployment in 60+ countries, 70+ research studies, 10+ publications, 50+ scientists and technologists, 100+ patents and 15+ years in business. Named customer deployments include the Sleep & Brain clinical sleep deployment, AnsibleHealth, and the Tempur-Pedic smart bed powered by Sleeptracker-AI.
Latest developments
In August 2025 the company closed a $25 million financing at a stated $160 million post-money valuation with participation from new investor Somnigroup International. Company news posts through 2026 cover a granted patent for smart, self-adjusting sleep surfaces (January 2026), deployment of an AI world model for human biological and environmental systems (April 2026), and the Sleeptracker-AI large action model platform (June 2026), alongside items on AWS infrastructure supporting its smart-bed sleep intelligence.

Market position
Positions itself as an AI-biosensing platform provider whose technology is embedded across consumer sleep and wearable products and clinical monitoring deployments; it reports over 1.5 million connected AI-powered over-the-counter devices, over 120,000 connected FDA-cleared devices, deployments in more than 60 countries, and a portfolio of over 100 patents (more than 125 issued or pending as of December 2016).
Emphasizes real-time, contactless and non-invasive monitoring backed by a large patent portfolio, academic validation with Stanford Medicine and UCSF, 70+ research studies and 10+ publications, and long-standing OEM relationships that place its algorithms inside major consumer brands' hardware.
Technology
The platform combines contactless and wearable biosensors with cloud-based machine learning. MotionX integrates firmware, software and communication components for wearable devices and leverages smartphone GPS and onboard sensors for navigation and motion tracking. The Sleeptracker-AI engine analyzes sleep, detects snoring and drives closed-loop responses such as adjusting bed position. The current platform adds real-time aggregation of data from popular wearables and contactless sensors, a cloud-to-cloud API with alerts and notifications, a no-code practitioner dashboard, and a generative-AI agent (KOA) producing automatic clinical summaries. The company reports validation and collaboration with Stanford Medicine and UCSF.
Go-to-market
Primarily indirect: technology is embedded in partners' products through licensing deals and joint ventures, including smart beds, smartwatches and fitness applications, alongside direct deployments with sleep clinics, clinical trials and healthcare organizations.
Bedding and mattress manufacturers (Tempur Sealy/Tempur-Pedic, Serta, Simmons, Tomorrow Sleep), wearable and watch brands (Nike, Jawbone, Movado, Alpina, Frederique Constant, Mondaine), sleep clinics and clinical-trial operators, remote patient monitoring and assisted-living providers, and healthcare practitioners.
Geography
Headquartered at 1200 Pacific Avenue, Suite 300, Santa Cruz, California, United States; platforms reported as compliant, vetted and deployed in more than 60 countries, with B2B customers in Europe, the United States and the United Kingdom.
History
After its 2005 founding, Fullpower launched the MotionX platform in 2008 along with iOS applications including MotionX Poker, MotionX Dice and MotionX-GPS, followed by MotionX-GPS Drive for iPhone in September 2009 and later iPad versions. In September 2010, MotionX supplied the motion-sensing technology behind Nike's Nike+ Running app. At CES 2011, JVC and Pioneer announced car stereo systems integrating MotionX-GPS Drive, and in November 2011 Jawbone launched the UP band using MotionX technology; MotionX 24/7, with sleep, heart-rate and activity analysis, was announced in February 2012. In 2015 Fullpower and Union Horlogere Holdings formed the Manufacture Modules Technologies joint venture and launched the MotionX Horological Smartwatch Open Platform with Frederique Constant, Alpina and Mondaine, followed by Movado's Motion collection in November 2015. Sleep products followed with the Beautyrest Sleeptracker monitor with Simmons in February 2017, Tomorrow Sleep in June 2017, a Tempur Sealy smart-bed partnership in August 2019, and an opioid-monitoring collaboration with OPOS in January 2020. Alsop Louie Partners invested in April 2019, and in August 2025 the company closed a $25 million financing including Somnigroup International.
