Sleep Trackers
Sleep headbands monitor different patterns of brain activity while sleeping that are potentially linked to various diseases including dementia, frailty and increased healthcare use.
Participants who consent to these data collection measures will be asked to wear two sleep trackers:
- A Muse headband
- An ActiGraph tracker on their wrist
To collect data about sleep activity, participants will wear a tracker on their wrist (called a wrist ActiGraph) for at least 7 days in a row, and a sleep monitoring device on their head (called a Muse headband) for 3 nights in a row within those 7 days. A tablet will also be used with the headband to capture the data. The tablet will be locked so that it cannot be used for other purposes.
Sleep trackers are provided at the Data Collection Site visit and then returned to the CLSA by mail in packaging provided.
