Peace of mind starts at night.
Trusted by Individuals and Families for Contactless Sleep Tracking
The Origin
It started with a frustrating realization: the sleep tech industry is obsessed with the individual, but completely ignores the people who care for them. When you're looking after a loved one whether it's a child, an aging parent, or a partner you desperately need to know how they rested. But the existing solutions just don't work in the real world.
We hated the idea of forcing a wearable onto someone who is already struggling to sleep. Watches need charging, rings get taken off, and headbands are uncomfortable. And cameras? They are invasive in the bedroom.
True peace of mind doesn't come from nightly battles, quite the opposite. We didn't want another gadget to manage; we wanted invisible insight.
That's why we built OZI, a contactless, non-wearable sleep tracker that lives under the sheet, completely out of sight, giving you clarity without disturbing the person you love.
Our Background
Built by the team behind zPods
Over the last 6 years, the zPods team has helped 1,000+ families improve sleep routines in high-need environments. We started OZI because we kept hearing the same need: families want a simple way to understand sleep, a child sleep tracker, a family sleep monitoring solution, or a senior sleep monitor without turning bedtime into a battle.
OZI Sleep is a DBA brand of zPods.
