Sleep Tracking, Wearable Technology, and Opportunities for Research and Clinical Care

Shelgikar, Anita Valanju, Anderson, Patricia F., Stephens, Marc R.·2016·Chest

Abstract

Consumer-driven sleep-tracking technologies are becoming increasingly popular with patients with sleep disorders and the general population. As the list of sleep-tracking technologies continues to grow, clinicians and researchers are faced with new challenges and opportunities to incorporate these technologies into current practice. We review diagnostic tools used in sleep medicine clinical practice, discuss categories of consumer sleep-tracking technologies currently available, and explore the advantages and disadvantages of each. Potential uses of consumer sleep-tracking technologies to enhance sleep medicine patient care and research are also discussed.

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Reviews on the application and potential of wearables have focused on specific wearable devices or measurements, or on applications in specific medical fields and interventions.

    “Similarly, reviews on the application and potential of wearables have focused on (1) specific wearable devices or specific wearable measurements, for example, only smartwatches [4] or only sleep measurements [28] or (2) applications of specific medical fields and interventions, for example, only for diagnosis and treatment in cardiological conditions [29] or wearables as an intervention to promote”
  • The lack of standardization and replicability of wearable raw data and analysis hinders comparability among studies.

    “Moreover, the lack of standardization and replicability of wearable raw data and analysis [28] hinders comparability among studies.”
  • The fluctuant and unstable market might be a factor in decisions regarding the use of wearables.

    “The fluctuant and unstable market, therefore, might also be a factor in decisions regarding the use of wearables [28].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
