RECRUITING

The Use of Multiple Sensors to Track Sleep in Nightshift Workers

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

Sleep is often a challenge for nightshift workers because their work and sleep schedules are inverted. Sleep is commonly measured using actigraphy, which is the standard measure of objective sleep in the general population; however, this method has substantial limitations for nightshift workers because the standard legacy algorithms only correctly identify 50.3% of daytime sleep. This significantly reduces the validity for nightshift workers. The purpose of this study is to test a novel method to expand actigraphy by using 1) a multi-sensor approach that 2) uses machine learning (ML) algorithms to increase the accuracy of detecting daytime sleep.
