Sleep detection in long-term care residents

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 observational study compares 24-hour sleep measurements from contactless sleep sensors with traditional methods in residents of long-term care facilities. It aims to understand day-to-day variability and how accurately CSTs reflect sleep, wake times, and restfulness in older adults. The project explores how sleep measurement differences relate to cognitive and functional outcomes, using a real-world long-term care setting. It focuses on test-retest variability to determine smallest detectable differences for intraday changes. The findings could inform feasible, low-burden sleep monitoring in this population.
