Overview
In contrast to the major impact of sleep tracking technology in the consumer sector, its adoption in clinical trials and care has been slow. Sleep is not commonly assessed in clinical trials other than those focusing on sleep disorders -- even when sleep disturbance is a major burden for the targeted patient population.
In this ActiGraph white paper, we dive into the current state of sleep assessments in clinical trials, advocate for the need to understand sleep more broadly, discuss the opportunities offered by wearable digital health technologies (DHTs), and review the expectations from regulatory agencies.
