Abstract:
As the importance of good sleep continues to gain public recognition, the market for sleep-monitoring devices continues to grow. Modern technology has shifted from simple sleep tracking to a more granular sleep health assessment. We examine the available functionalities of consumer wearable sleep trackers (CWSTs) and how they perform in healthy individuals and disease states. Additionally, the continuum of sleep technology from consumer-grade to medical-grade is detailed. As this trend invariably grows, we urge professional societies to develop guidelines encompassing the practical clinical use of CWSTs and how best to incorporate them into patient care plans.
