Great to see a shift away from validating ‘black box’ consumer wearables’ ability to track sleep, and instead developing and validating open source algorithms. @oliviawalch leading the way with this paper in Sleep. #SDU19 – at Sydney, New South Wales

If we start with the principle “validate before publishing /or making claims” nearly ALL devices on the market that claim to improve sleep fall the this category! – at Farmington Hills, MI
