I didn't see a reference in the TechCrunch article -- is there a technical paper out?
Edit: A presentation is linked, as "study":

A followup: Does the neural network provide some extra insight into what part of the waveform/time-series of pulses is able to provide predictive information?

What are the false positive and false negative rates for sleep apnea detection? Would it be able to detect sub-clinical symptoms?
Second the other comment on technical paper. Is it available?

Correct -- the abstract will be included in a special issue of Circulation:
http://circ.ahajournals.org/content/136/Suppl_1/A21042
The study was presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions earlier today. We included some details beyond what appears in the TechCrunch article in a blog post here: https://blog.cardiogr.am/screening-for-hypertension-and-slee...
I'd expect a more mature version of this work to appear in a medical journal, but that often takes 6-12 extra months.

Do you have plans to commercialize this?

Cardiogram is a venture-backed company.

Yes I want to know this too. I feel like I may have mild sleep apnea and would love to see what my results look like!
