| dc.description.abstract | The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) recommends at minimum seven hours of sleep per night, which means you would expect to spend a quarter of your lifetime asleep. Acute or chronic sleep deprivation can greatly impair quality of life, and lead to serious health problems. Many smart devices have begun to incorporate sleep monitoring functionalities; however, their claims and accuracy can leave users misguided or unsatisfied. Conversely, clinical sleep monitoring equipment is often too complex or impractical for consistent use. In order to address this gap, it is necessary to create a device that is wearable and non-obstructive, with the capabilities to record high-fidelity bioelectrical signals from the regions of interest. The Wearable Sleep Monitoring System (WSMS) device is a simple, lightweight, wearable device that records bioelectrical signals from the user in real-time, with the capability to communicate wirelessly with a paired smartphone application. | en_US |
