SRI research scientists discuss new opportunities for large-scale data collection through consumer sleep technology

Consumer sleep technology (CST) is a fast-paced industry, and little is known about the accuracy and reliability of consumer sleep-tracking devices. In this article published in the journal SLEEP, SRI research scientists Luca Menghini, Nicola Cellini, Aimee Goldstone, Fiona C Baker and Massimiliano de Zambotti discuss the new opportunities for large-scale data collection that CST could provide in clinical and research studies. They provide guidelines and analytical steps available through open-source code for best standardized testing of CSTs, research methods and how to most accurately and efficiently adopt CST in research and clinical settings.
