Dr. Jonathan Cedernaes from Uppsala University receives top award in greenteg’s 2nd call for research proposals

Advancing Sleep Research with Continuous, Non-Invasive Core Body Temperature Monitoring

Zürich, Switzerland — CALERA® Research, one of greenteg’s flagship products, is committed to supporting researchers where accurate, continuous, non-invasive core body temperature monitoring is vital. Building on the success of our first call for sleep research proposals, we launched a second initiative to support the field further and foster discoveries in sleep science. By offering advanced tools for continuous temperature tracking, we aim to enable groundbreaking research that deepens our understanding of sleep and circadian rhythms.

Dr. Jonathan Cedernaes from Uppsala University Wins the Second Call for Proposals

In September 2024, greenteg concluded its 2nd call for sleep research proposals, awarding Dr. Jonathan Cedernaes from Uppsala University for his groundbreaking study. His research will investigate how a Western diet, rich in fats and sugars, impacts deep sleep, circadian rhythms, and glucose metabolism in individuals with type 2 diabetes, using core body temperature as a vital metric.

As part of the award, his research team received 10 CALERA® Research devices, valued at CHF 999 each. These devices are designed to provide precise and continuous core body temperature data, enhancing their research efforts and leading to more comprehensive insights and accurate findings.

Additional Research Teams from Yale, Harvard, and Brigham and Women’s Hospital Awarded

Due to the high volume of outstanding submissions, we are pleased to award two additional research teams. The first team includes researchers from Yale School of Medicine— Brienne Miner, PhD, along with Gawon Cho, PhD, Jarett Talarczyk MA, and Anne Chen. Their study will evaluate novel technology (sleep headbands) to assess a vulnerable, understudied population, facilitating targeted interventions based on high-risk sleep profiles to improve sleep quality and reduce adverse outcomes.

The second team, consisting of researchers from Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, is led by Dr. Shauni E. T. Omond and includes Dr. Shadab Rahman, Dr. Melissa St. Hilaire, and Dr. Leilah Grant. They will conduct an inpatient study on chronic variable sleep deficiency in women across different phases of the menstrual cycle.

Each team will receive one CALERA® Research device to support their research.

Core Body Temperature: A Key Biomarker for Sleep Research

CALERA® Research has been effectively utilized in various fields, including sports, ovulation, and neuroscience, providing valuable data essential for research.

"CALERA® Research is our innovative, non-invasive solution for continuous core body temperature monitoring. It provides reliable data by eliminating external environmental factors, ensuring researchers receive accurate temperature data. We are proud to see our technology significantly impacting sleep and circadian rhythm research," shared Dr. Wulf Glatz, CEO and Founder of greenteg.

In addition to its broad applications, greenteg acknowledges the critical role of core body temperature data in sleep research and circadian rhythm studies, emphasizing its strong correlation with sleep patterns. Understanding these mechanisms not only offers insights into diagnostic and treatment strategies but also highlights the vital role of core body temperature in regulating sleep cycles and overall sleep quality.

CALERA® Research, Revolutionizing Research Technology

CALERA® Research is a Swiss-patented core body temperature monitor that eliminates external environmental influences, delivering accurate results independent of external conditions such as weather. Data is easily collected remotely, continuously, and non-invasively through simple skin contact, thereby increasing participant efficacy.
