Validation of Contact-Free Sleep Monitoring Device with Comparison to Polysomnography.

ABSTRACT:

Study objectives

To validate a contact-free system designed to achieve maximal comfort during long-term sleep monitoring, together with high monitoring accuracy.

Methods

We used a contact-free monitoring system (EarlySense, Ltd., Israel), comprising an under-the-mattress piezoelectric sensor and a smartphone application, to collect vital signs and analyze sleep. Heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), body movement, and calculated sleep-related parameters from the EarlySense (ES) sensor were compared to data simultaneously generated by the gold standard, polysomnography (PSG). Subjects in the sleep laboratory underwent overnight technician-attended full PSG, whereas subjects at home were recorded for 1 to 3 nights with portable partial PSG devices. Data were compared epoch b
