Summary Motionlogger Actigraphy watch is a wearable device used to measure physical activity and sleep patterns. It works by tracking the movement, temperature, and ambient light. These data can be analyzed to provide insights into sleep quality, activity levels, and circadian rhythms. The updated [...]
Summary ActTrust was FDA cleared (5/25/16) as “an ultra-compact, lightweight, wrist-worn activity, temperature and ambient light monitor that can be used to analyze circadian rhythms, automatically collect and store data for sleep parameters, and assess activity in any instance where quantifiable analysis of physical [...]
Summary The BioSense Ring is a wearable device that uses advanced sensors to track various health metrics, including sleep patterns, heart rate, blood oxygen levels, and stress levels. It also incorporates blockchain technology to reward users for sharing their health data while ensuring privacy [...]
Summary The Apollo Wearable (and upcoming Apollo 2.0 on KickStarter) is a device that can be worn on the wrist, ankle, waist or shirt collar to deliver transcutaneous vibratory stimulation. The Apollo Neuro app (iOS and Android) allows users to customize vibration settings and [...]
Summary Both the MotionWatch and the PRO-Diary are FDA cleared (1/21/2014) wrist-worn actigraphy devices intended to monitor limb or body movements during daily living and sleep. They provide raw accelerometer data for use in clinical or research settings. The MotionWatch 8 includes an ambient [...]
Summary Both the GENEActiv and the Band are accelerometers that provide raw actigraphy data. The GENEActiv is marketed as a medical device with FDA 510(k) exemption status and provides data on ambient light and temperature exposure and access to raw accelerometer data. The Band [...]
Summary SOMNOwatches are multichannel and multisensor activity recording devices that record physical activity/movement, sleep parameters, body position, and ambient light intensity. The intended use for the SOMNOwatch models (eco, plus, plus EEG) is to analyze circadian rhythms, automatically collect and score data for sleep [...]
Summary ActLumus is a battery-operated, limb-worn, lightweight, activity-recording device that provides physical activity (movement), temperature, and ambient light exposure data. Advanced light sensor estimates Melanopic EDI and Photopic Lux using 10 light channels and offers angular, linear, and spectral response plots for detailed analysis. [...]
This issue of Montage brings fresh perspectives and stories from the sleep medicine community as we celebrate the AASM’s 50th anniversary. We look back at the 1970s and the organization’s origins, honoring trailblazers like Dr. Thomas Roth, the second AASM president. Inside, Dr. [...]
The sleep medicine phrenic nerve stimulation codes became effective Jan. 1, 2024. They were created because of advances in phrenic nerve stimulation technology, improved diagnostic precision, and recognition of clinical needs in sleep medicine, all of which facilitated reimbursement and payer clarity. The [...]
