Sleep expert Roy J.E.M Raymann, who joined Apple back in 2014, has left the company<\/a> and moved on to SleepScore Labs, where he will serve as Vice President of Sleep Science and Scientific Affairs.<\/p>\n

Raymann joined Apple as the company was developing the Apple Watch, and at the time, his hiring spurred rumors that the device would have sleep tracking capabilities, which never materialized.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\n
\nPrior to joining Apple, where he served as “Health and Health Technologies Staff,” Raymann was at Philips where he founded the Philips Sleep Experience Laboratory, a non-clinical sleep research facility.<\/p>\n

According to his LinkedIn profile, while at Apple, Raymann worked on Night Shift<\/a>, the Bedtime alarm, display recommendations and color filters, and HealthKit and ResearchKit.<\/p>\n

News of Raymann’s departure comes just days after Apple acquired Beddit<\/a>, a company that produces a sensor-equipped sleep monitoring system.<\/p>\n

It’s not yet clear what Apple plans to do with Beddit’s technology<\/a>, but Apple is continuing to sell the Beddit sleep monitor and has updated its privacy policy to note that it is collecting sleep-related data that could influence future projects at the company.
