BACKGROUND: Distinguishing pediatric bipolar disorder (BD) from attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is challenging due to overlapping fluctuations in mood, energy, and activity. Combining objective actigraphy with self-reported mood and e...
BACKGROUND: As the global population ages, the economic burden of dementia continues to rise. Social isolation-which includes limited social interaction and feelings of loneliness-negatively affects cognitive function and is a significant risk factor...
Motor activity alterations are key symptoms of psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia. Actigraphy, a non-invasive monitoring method, shows promise in early identification. This study characterizes Positive Schizotypy Factor (PSF) and Chronic Schizo...
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and related hypoxia are well-established cardiovascular and neurocognitive risk factors. Current multi-sensor diagnostic approaches are intrusive and prone to misdiagnosis when simplified. This study introduces an enhanc...
Actigraphy, a tool known for investigating sleep-wake patterns at home, lacks scientific validation in hypersomnolent subjects. We aim to validate an actigraphy-based sleep-wake prediction algorithm against 32-h continuous polysomnography in patients...
GOAL AND AIMS: One challenge using wearable sensors is nonwear time. Without a nonwear (e.g., capacitive) sensor, actigraphy data quality can be biased by subjective determinations confounding sleep/wake classification. We developed and evaluated a m...
Given the heterogeneous nature of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and the absence of established biomarkers, accurate diagnosis and effective treatment remain a challenge in clinical practice. This study investigates the predictive ut...
Nocturnal scratching substantially impairs the quality of life in individuals with skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis (AD). Current clinical measurements of scratch rely on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) on itch over the last 24 h. Such meas...
OBJECTIVE: To investigate individual effects of a three-week sleep robot intervention in adults with ADHD and insomnia, and to explore participants' experiences with the intervention.
