Performance of wearable finger ring trackers for diagnostic sleep measurement in the clinical context.

ABSTRACT: Ring-trackers are a growing consumer wearable category that provide a number of sleep metrics, yet their measurement accuracy remains poorly understood. Previous validation studies have mainly focused on healthy individuals, while a significant part of the potential present and future value lies in applications on non-healthy subjects. To enable applications in research and medical applications, rigorous evaluation of performance in clinical settings against the gold-standard polysomnography is needed. To address this knowledge gap, we investigated how the measurements of three commercially available ring trackers (Oura, SleepOn, Circul) perform against polysomnography in a university sleep lab population with a diverse set sleep-related disorders as well as sleep-unrelated medical conditi
