Enhancing Sleep Disorders Research with Wearable DHTs

Disrupted sleep patterns and poor sleep quality are charadigitcteristic of sleep disorders such as narcolepsy, idiopathic hypersomnia, and insomnia, and impact other areas of patient well-being, including their physical functioning. Wearable DHTs can detect unique functional changes associated with sleep disorders and changes associated with treatment interventions, providing quantifiable measures of sleep and wake behavior that are otherwise difficult to obtain.

With the advent of sensor-based digital health technologies (DHTs), we now have an unprecedented opportunity to remotely and continuously assess how study participants in sleep disorder research sleep and function in their daily lives.

This digital endpoints guide provides information on the use of wearable DHT in sleep disorder research and clinical trials, a list of digital endpoints available for sleep disorder trials, and opportunities to advance sleep disorder research with wearable DHTs, including:

• Supporting patient-centric sleep disorder drug development with easy-to-use wrist-worn technology
• Collecting previously inaccessible clinical insights for sleep disorder trials through novel digital endpoints
• Passively examining sleep behavior, physical activity, gait and mobility, movement patterns, and vital signs in the patient’s natural environment

Advancing Sleep Research with Digital Measures

Sleep is an important indicator of disease severity and treatment effect in not only sleep disorders, but also a wide variety of conditions. Read more about the utility of digital measures of sleep in this case study and white papers:
