The small-scale Soli radar tech, which Google uses for gesture control on phones, is in the latest version of its Nest Hub smart speaker, being marketed as a health monitoring device.

It also detects coughing and snoring with its mic, while other sensors spot changes in lighting and temperature.

A detailed analysis of your sleep will be available every morning.
