Abstract:
The general public increasingly adopts smart wearable devices to quantify sleep characteristics and dedicated devices for sleep assessment. The rapid evolution of technology has outpaced the ability to implement validation approaches and demonstrate relevant clinical applicability. There are untapped opportunities to validate and refine consumer devices in partnership with scientists in academic institutions, patients, and the private sector to allow effective integration into clinical management pathways and facilitate trust in adoption once reliability and validity have been demonstrated. We call for the formation of a working group involving stakeholders from academia, clinical care and industry to develop clear professional recommendations to facilitate appropriate and optimized clinical utilization of such technologies.
摘要:
公众越来越多地采用智能可穿戴设备来量化睡眠特征和用于睡眠评估的专用设备。技术的快速发展已经超过了实施验证方法和证明相关临床适用性的能力。与学术机构的科学家合作,有尚未开发的机会来验证和完善消费设备,病人,和私营部门允许有效地融入临床管理途径,并在可靠性和有效性得到证明后促进对采用的信任。我们呼吁成立一个由学术界利益相关者参与的工作组,临床护理和行业制定明确的专业建议,以促进此类技术的适当和优化临床利用。
