In this episode, we delve into the groundbreaking work of Glasgow-based medtech startup Seluna Ltd, which is revolutionising the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric sleep disorders. Founded in 2022, Seluna is developing AI-powered medical software to assist doctors in rapidly diagnosing and triaging childhood sleep disorders .

Seluna's innovative approach combines machine learning-enabled Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) with a child-friendly cardiorespiratory wearable. This technology facilitates home sleep testing with gold-standard accuracy, allowing for remote monitoring and diagnosis of pediatric sleep disorders . Their algorithms retain diagnostic power even in the event of signal loss and noise, reducing the number of inconclusive sleep studies.

We discuss the challenges of diagnosing sleep apnea in children compared to adults, the importance of ethical considerations in healthcare technology, and the role of Glasgow's vibrant startup ecosystem in supporting innovations like Seluna. Additionally, we explore Seluna's future roadmap and their approach to integrating new technologies in the healthcare industry.

Join us for an insightful conversation on how Seluna is making a global impact from their base in Glasgow, improving patient outcomes, and shaping the future of pediatric healthcare.
