1199 FEELING VALIDATED YET? A SCOPING REVIEW OF CONSUMER-TARGETED WEARABLE AND MOBILE TECHNOLOGY TO MEASURE AND IMPROVE SLEEP

Abstract

Introduction: Consumer-targeted fitness devices, most of them containing sleep monitoring technology, are rapidly growing in popularity. We sought to evaluate the use of consumer-targeted sleep monitoring technology, identify gaps in the literature, and determine the evidence for the use of these types of devices in behavioral interventions. Method(s): We undertook a scoping review of English-language studies in adult populations using consumer-targeted wearable technologies designed to measure or improve sleep. We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Science Citation Index Expanded, and Compendex. Two co-authors screened each article abstract for inclusion, and two authors extracted data from each article that met inclusion criteria. Result(s): Our search returned 1836 unique article records, 80 of which met inclusion criteria. The majority of studies sought to validate new sleep measurement technology or algorithms (n=45) or were observational studies (n=24). Few studies used wearable technology to identify sleep disorders (n=5), evaluate response to interventions (n=3), or to deliver interventions (n=3). Conclusion(s): The use of consumer-targeted mobile and wearable sleep technology has largely focused on validation, but opportunities exist for observations in large populations and for self-management interventions. Future research is needed to determine utility in behavioral interventions and in different populations, including patients with sleep disorders.
