Evaluating sleep tracker accuracy in children

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the accuracy of sleep trackers in children aged 2 to less than 18 years by comparing their data with results from polysomnography, the gold standard for assessing sleep quality. Participants will wear sleep trackers during their scheduled sleep tests at Arkansas Children's Hospital. The study will also gather information about the child's home environment, medical history, and conduct a brief physical exam. The goal is to determine how well these devices can measure sleep patterns in children.
