"Professor Joyita Dutta and her team at the Biomedical Imaging and Data Science Lab developed BIDSleep, an app that collects data for studying sleep and could serve as an alternative to the expensive and complex equipment and protocols associated with the gold standard of sleep studies. BIDSleep uses an Apple Watch, which Dutta says the team included for its accessibility. Dutta said she envisions that researchers will eventually use this app to monitor people with sleep disorders outside of a lab."
"The study for the app was conducted with 47 adults who wore the Apple Watch Series 6 and a Dreem 2 Headband over seven nights for sleep monitoring and stage assessment. The BIDSleep app collects instantaneous heart rate data as a person progresses through their sleep stages and feeds it into the researchers' AI model. In this study, the results mirrored those of EEG-based sleep staging -- the gold standard -- and accurately identified the correct sleep stage around 70% of the time."
Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst developed BIDSleep, an app that turns an Apple Watch into an advanced sleep stage monitoring device. The app collects instantaneous heart rate data from an Apple Watch Series 6 and inputs it into an AI model to classify sleep stages. A study with 47 adults wearing the Apple Watch Series 6 and a Dreem 2 Headband across seven nights showed BIDSleep's AI replicated EEG-based sleep staging around 70% of the time. The AI model outperformed other community approaches in sleep stage prediction. The team plans further comparisons with native Apple Watch sleep tracking.
