Abstract
PURPOSE: This exploratory study introduces a portable, wearable device using a single accelerometer to monitor twelve sleep positions. Targeted for home use, the device aims to assist patients with mild conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) by tracking sleep postures, promoting healthier habits, and improving both reflux symptoms and sleep quality without requiring hospital-based monitoring.
