Amazon granted approval to use radar to monitor sleep

Amazon has been granted federal permission to create a device that monitors people's sleep. Last month, Amazon requested permission from the Federal Communications Commission to market "non-mobile devices" that use "Radar Sensors" and "would operate at higher power levels than currently allowed."
On Friday, the FCC issued approval for the touchless device, which would use radar sensors to track sleep. In its request, Amazon said the device "could help improve consumers' awareness and management of sleep hygiene." In its approval document, the FCC said Google made a similar request in 2018 for its Pixel smartphone. "As with Google, Amazon describes how it plans to use its Radar Sensors to enable touchless control of device features and functions," the FCC said.
