Models to Predict Sleeping Quality from Activities and Environment: Current Status, Challenges and Opportunities

Abstract

The development of remote/wearable sensors enables more research in the health care area. Based on these kinds of sensors, the information of human's active level, health parameters can be collected to predict one's health status. Sleeping quality is an important factor to make a person feel healthy. In this work, we summarize the current models to predict sleeping quality. Inputs of those models could be environmental factors, activities, or time-series data from wearable sensors. The characteristic of the input data may lead to the choice of prediction models. The domain of data that was used to forecast sleeping quality will be considered carefully in parallel with the prediction model. Challenges and future work for this research direction will be discussed in this paper.
