Beyond the Surface: Consumer Wearables vs. Medical Grade Sleep Tests 💤📊 Dr. Chopra delves into the critical distinctions between consumer wearables and medical grade sleep tests. Discover why going beyond the surface matters when it comes to understanding your sleep health. While consumer wearables offer awareness and basic insights, medical grade sleep tests provide a comprehensive evaluation of sleep disorders, including detailed measurements and expert analysis. Let's empower ourselves with the knowledge to make informed decisions and unlock the full potential of sleep diagnostics. Elevate your sleep journey with the precision and expertise of medical grade sleep tests! 🩺🔬✨ #sleep #sleepdoctor #sleepdisorders #sleeptests #wearables #digitalhealth #mentalhealth #mentalwellness

💤 Sleep trackers, whether standalone devices or features in wearable tech, offer insightful data into our nocturnal patterns. They monitor the duration of our sleep, its quality, and even the various sleep stages—light, deep, and REM. By capturing these nuances, they provide a comprehensive view of our sleep health. 🙂 Why does this matter? If you're consistently waking up fatigued, a tracker might reveal you're missing out on vital deep sleep. Or you may be in bed for 8 hours but only sleeping soundly for 5. With this data, you can implement changes, adjust your bedtime routine, room environment, or seek medical advice. ❤️️ Moreover, these devices often have smart alarms designed to wake you during lighter sleep. This can lead to mornings where you feel refreshed rather than groggy.

It was so great participating in this industry roundtable for Sleep Lab Magazine on the role of consumer sleep technology in patient engagement and health. Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gxQddgv5 #DigitalHealth #SleepScience #WearableTech #SleepHealth #RemotePatientMonitoring

Good to see another example of using sleep-tracking wearables to enhance CPAP adherence – according to a recent study by the University of Chicago Medicine and Northwestern University: https://lnkd.in/en2euHxs Sleep health professionals are constantly tackling the challenge of CPAP compliance with sleep apnea patients, which can be as low as 50% in the long term. Combining the usage of sleep-tracking wearables with CPAP devices offers a more accurate and customized approach to treatment effectiveness, one that can transform how we monitor and manage sleep apnea. We're excited to leverage the comprehensive sleep data from our award-winning #TipTraQ to provide personalized insights and enhance CPAP adherence: https://lnkd.in/e_wF3yJe To all the sleep healthcare providers out there, how do you address the challenge of CPAP compliance in your practice? Let us know! 😊 #sleephealth #cpap #sleepapneatreatment #sleepapnea

How the Soltec System Improves Sleep   This is the third of four articles on sleep and wellness written by neurologist Daniel Cohen, MD, Founder and CEO of Soltec Health.   Improving Deep and Dream sleep are the most important benefits of the Soltec System®. How does it do it? The Z•TRACK® Analyst (a wrist-worn wearable that measures sleep parameters) analyzes sleep in real time. When it detects a change in sleep patterns, it sends a one-second message via Bluetooth to the Z•GEN® Magnetic Conditioner. That message tells Z•GEN® what magnetic frequencies it should emit to support the stage of sleep you are moving into or are presently in. This is crucial for deepening and prolonging these key sleep stages.    Real-Time Sleep Stage Enhancement (Real Time SSE®) is unique to the Soltec System, as no other wearable is associated with a device that can actually support better sleep. In addition, the system uses a calibration routine (machine learning) to determine personalized frequencies to meet your needs. Real Time SSE and personalized frequencies allow the Soltec System to speak the language of the nervous system – magnetic frequencies.   Visit: https://lnkd.in/ercsUmE7 to learn more about our technology and download the Company Profile and Investor Deck. Please contact Bob Hiben, our CFO (Bob@SoltecHealth.com), to learn about our current offering.

A good nights sleep is something we all crave, all understand the value, but few rarely achieve regularly. So, how do you know, if you've recovered properly, from a good night's sleep? Those of you who track your health with wearable tech, do you also track your sleep? Do you know your circadian score? Do you understand the sleep cycle enough to make decisions on the best time to sleep, how long for, how to prepare and how to wake up? If you want to know a little more, drop a comment below and I'll tailor some content this week specifically around better sleep. #Sleep

Sleep Tech News: "Sleep gadgets to help you catch those Zzzs" - Sleep tech is more than tracking. Here are the best gadgets I’ve tested that help you fall asleep, stay asleep, or wake up earlier. Sleep tech has come a long way in just a few short years, but these aren’t medical devices, so take their sleep tracking data with a grain of salt. READ ARTICLE: https://lnkd.in/dQedAMyj

Yesterday on 24th of April in the ongoing Sleep Expo Europé Sanjay Verma, PhD Chief Sleep Officer at Jensen Beds participated in a panel discussion titled ”The Role of Technology in Sleep” unwrapping the impact of technology on sleep quality. Juha Suoniemi was another panelist and the discussion was moderated by Magdalena Filcek. They discussed 👇 💤 Smart Mattress Innovations: Exploring Adjustable Firmness, Temperature Regulation, and Sleep Tracking 💤 Sleep Tracking Devices: Role of Wearables and Apps in Monitoring Sleep Patterns and Enhancing Sleep Quality 💤  Integration of Technology in Sleep Tracking: Enhancing Capabilities with AI and Machine Learning 💤  Emerging Trends in Sleep Tech: Non-contact Monitoring, Biofeedback Systems, and Smart Home Integration

It's World Sleep Day! Given the essential nature of sleep to our health and wellbeing, accurately measuring sleep duration, quality, and circadian patterns is a critical part of important research that improves our understanding of sleep and sleep disorders. ☑️Check out this paper from ActiGraph’s science team about the importance of validated algorithms to derive accurate sleep outcome measures from wearable sleep data: https://hubs.la/Q02pDbdp0 #worldsleepday #sleepresearch #sleepdata #sleepmeasurements #wearables #actigraphy
