#SMARTWATCH WITH SLEEP MONITOR SOFTWARE#
They instead rely on accelerometers, and feed the motion data through machine learning software to guess what sort of sleep accompanied each movement, or each short “epoch” of time. Clinicians attach sensors to measure your heart (ECG), your brain (EEG), your eye movement (EOG), and skeletal-muscular activity (EMG).įor the most part, wearables don’t pack these sensors. When doctors measure sleep, they rely on a set of techniques together known as “polysomnography” (PSG). As the open access journal Sensor reported, “the currently available consumer devices for sleep tracking do not provide reliable information about one’s sleep.” Your wearable device doesn’t do a great job of tracking your sleep and giving you an accurate report in the morning.
Sleep tracking simply doesn’t work well, and you shouldn’t bother using your wearable device to track your sleep. If you’re running motion sensors all night long instead of charging, that leads to an obvious question: When will you charge the device?Įven if you ignore the battery issue, there’s a more fundamental problem. OURA RingĪmid these developments, we have concerns about the effect sleep-tracking features will have on battery life. Oura makes sleep tracking a key feature of the device, and it’s the first feature you’ll see on the company homepage. The new Oura Ring is also getting a ton of press, thanks to a coronavirus-inspired partnership with NBA players. While it’s surprising that Apple never pushed hard for sleep features before, there may be a good reason for the delay. When bad sleeping tracking becomes the problemĪt the Worldwide Developers Conference 2020, Apple announced that it is adding “sleep-tracking” capabilities to its Apple Watch, the dominant wearable on the market.Sleep tracking is bigger than your wrist.
