Wesper Named To TIME’s List of The Best Inventions of 2026 As A Special Mention

TIME recognition highlights Wesper’s work to make sleep testing accessible
New York City, United States, October 15, 2026 -- Wesper, a leader in advanced home sleep apnea testing (HSAT), has been recognized as a 2026 TIME Best Inventions Special Mention, placing the company among a select group of innovators recognized by TIME for developing products and technologies that are helping shape the future.
To compile this year's list, TIME solicited nominations from TIME editors and correspondents around the world, and through an online application process, paying special attention to growing fields—such as health care and AI. TIME then evaluated each contender on a number of key factors, including originality, efficacy, ambition, and impact.
For Wesper, the recognition highlights the growing importance of rethinking how sleep disorders are studied. Rather than relying solely on traditional sleep testing methods that can be difficult to use and limited to a single night, Wesper’s wearable technology lets patients collect sleep data at home across multiple nights.
“This recognition from TIME is meaningful because it validates the need to rethink how we approach sleep health,” said Dr. Amir Reuveny, CEO and founder of Wesper. “Millions of people struggle with undiagnosed or undertreated sleep disorders, yet access to reliable, clinical-grade sleep testing remains a significant barrier. We built Wesper around the idea that even the most rigorous sleep testing should fit into people’s lives, not disrupt them.”
Wesper’s wireless wearable technology is designed to capture key sleep and breathing data without a traditional nasal cannula, helping patients test in their own beds across multiple nights. The approach is intended to give clinicians a more rounded, representative picture of a patient’s sleep while making the testing experience more comfortable and accessible.
The TIME Best Inventions Special Mention recognizes Wesper at a moment when sleep health is receiving increased attention as a critical component of overall health. The recognition reflects the larger shift toward technology that can move healthcare past traditional clinical settings and give people more convenient ways to understand their health. For Wesper, the recognition also reinforces its broader mission to modernize sleep testing and help more people identify conditions such as sleep apnea that can otherwise go undiagnosed.
