Brief summary
A new device is being developed to screen for sleep-breathing disorders. Within this device is a new software algorithm which will determine sleep/wake states. The aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of this new algorithm. This prototype will be compared against a commercially available device which monitors sleep/wake patterns. Volunteers will be asked to wear the prototype and comparative devices for 1-2 nights. The data from both devices will be downloaded after the completion of the study and analysis wil be performed to compare the two recordings.
Interventions
Non-invasive device worn over clothes during sleep. Used to screen for sleep-disordered breathing conditions.
A non-invasive device worn on the arm or leg. It monitors body movement and sleep/wake states

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Total sleep time | 12 hrs | To measure the total sleep time recorded and analysed on the device using the new algorithm |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Frequency of arousals during sleep | 12 hrs | To compare the data acquired of the new device's algorithm against a pre-existing device detailing the frequency of sleep and wake periods |
| Duration of arousals during sleep | 12 hrs | To compare the data acquired of the new device's algorithm against a pre-existing device detailing the duration of sleep and wake |
| Occurrence of arousals during sleep | 12 hrs | To compare the data acquired of the new device's algorithm against a pre-existing device detailing when sleep and wake periods occurred |
