Introduce the cloud pak and what it is used for
With the Cloud Pak, the wearer is wired up to a device that is placed on their forehead, which is then connected to their iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth. The resulting data collected while they sleep will be sent to iCloud, where it can later be analyzed by Apple’s engineers and stored in the cloud. The resulting info will be used to detect what position you’ve been sleeping in, how fit your sleep is, and how well you are breathing during your sleep. It is expected that Apple’s engineers will use this info to help diagnose asthma patients, possible sleep apnea sufferers, and even those who have restless legs or another condition that may be causing them to wake up a lot during the night. The Cloud pak uses a accelerometer, gyroscope, and infrared sensor to record data about your movements as you sleep. Apple has already started analyzing data from the sensors to predict what kind of sleeper you are, and this information is automatically set in the iPhone’s “Bedtime” app. The Cloud pak will arrive on March 15th with the iPhone 5s.
How to install the cloud pak
The Cloud Pak is a device in which you can hook up with your iPhone or iPad to collect data about your sleep. The first step of the installation process is getting a compatible iPhone or iPad with the latest software update on it. The second step is to open up the headphone jack on the device and plug in the Lightning to 3.5mm adapter cable. The third step is to connect the Lightning end to the Cloud Pak. After these steps, you can download an app from the App Store called “Sleep” which will say that you will need the Cloud Pak connected to your device before using the app.
The iOS 4.x and 5.x versions of the Sleep App are not compatible with the Cloud Pak, so you need to download the 6.0.4 or newer versions for those devices for this method to work properly.

The benefits of using the cloud pak
The Cloud Pak allows you to receive a more accurate idea of how the quality of your sleep is. It will monitor your heart rate and respiratory rate so that it can collect data about how many times you may have woken up in the night, which means that it can wake you up only when necessary. I believe that sleep is very important as it is one of the main ways we can recharge our bodies, even though this process can be disrupted by noise. For example, if you think that your baby is crying out of hunger but in fact the baby is just trying to make sure that your attention is on him/her, then it’s a good idea to check what they are doing while they are asleep.
I have always been interested in the sleeping habits of my two daughters and how they can improve their sleeping habits, so I decided to buy them a device that will monitor their oxygen levels and heart rates. At first I thought that most devices that monitor sleep are very expensive; however, I am pleased to say that the Cloud Pak is reasonably priced and it is not too expensive at all.
Comparing to other similar products, the Cloud Pak seems perfect. Why? Well, for one thing it is only a fraction of the cost. The Cloud Pak is much cheaper in comparison to other monitors that you can buy to monitor your heart rate and oxygen levels; this makes it more attractive to me as a consumer.
How to use the cloud pak
The Cloud Pak comes with a Bluetooth module that connects to your iPad or iPhone. To use the Cloud Pak, you have to set it up by going on a website and logging into iCloud using your Apple ID and password. The next step is syncing the app onto your iPad or iPhone which can be done by plugging in the Lightning to 3.5mm adapter cable again followed by activating Bluetooth on your device. Once the pairing stage is complete, you’re able to use Sleep with the Cloud Pak connected and ready for analyzing your sleep statistics. Use the app to view and analyze your sleep data.
The Cloud Pak comes with 10 pre-set profiles that are designed to capture certain types of sleep which will either track your sleep naturally or in a controlled manner.
The Sleepability app itself is free and there’s an option to purchase the full version for $9.99 at the App Store. The free version limits you to 10 data points while the full version can save up to 100 data points. You can also buy upgrade options like the cloud pak support, Apple Health Sync and developer tools at their respective prices.
FAQs about the cloud pak
Some people don’t like the idea of wearing a device on their head all night, which is why we don’t recommend you wear the Cloud Pak while sleeping in other people’s rooms if they are not already aware of it.
The Cloud Pak is made for people who want to use it as a sleep aid, or for people with visual impairments who need additional light in their room. The Cloud Pak can be used on its own, but we don’t recommend that you do so.
Because of the extra equipment (the headband and the coil), the Cloud Pak is more expensive than other sleep products and requires more time to set up.
