Sleep Number and Mayo Clinic were celebrated at the 26th annual Tekne Awards in the "Excellence in Partnership" category. One of only 15 winners, our research collaboration with Mayo Clinic analyzes the connection between sleep abnormalities and heart failure, using data from Sleep Number smart beds.

This recognition highlights the ways in which a wellness technology leader like Sleep Number can meaningfully connect digital technology, innovation and data with clinical research to advance the understanding of sleep-related health outcomes.

The collaboration with Mayo Clinic began in 2020 and includes a dedicated research fund to advance sleep science and improve clinical outcomes. At the Heart Failure Society of America Annual Scientific Meeting in October 2023, Sleep Number presented new research with Mayo Clinic, analyzing the connection between sleep abnormalities and heart failure. The study, leveraging longitudinal data from Sleep Number smart beds^® and Mayo Clinic's clinical expertise, highlights potential life-changing impacts on heart health.

“Thank you to Minnesota Technology Association for the incredible honor; it's a testament to the amazing work of both teams and our shared commitment to making a difference in people's lives. And, a huge "thank you" to the team at Mayo Clinic and Sleep Number for your groundbreaking efforts. Together, we are uncovering life-changing insights into how better sleep can improve heart health and wellbeing.” -Shelly Ibach, Chair, President and CEO, Sleep Number
