Predicting sleep stages using movement and heart rate data from a wearable device

AI simplified

Abstract

Our method achieved 90% accuracy in classifying sleep-wake epochs using data from the Apple Watch.

  • The best performance for sleep-wake classification was obtained using neural networks.
  • Specificity for true wake epochs was 59.6%, while sensitivity for true sleep epochs was 93%.
  • Overall accuracy for distinguishing between wake, NREM sleep, and REM sleep was approximately 72% when all features were utilized.
  • Models trained on Apple Watch data successfully predicted sleep patterns using external data from the Multi-ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA).
  • This work provides a novel approach to analyzing raw data from wearable devices to enhance sleep prediction accuracy.
