The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an EEG-measuring headband against actigraphy and polysomnography in assessing sleep quality in older adults.
Compared performance of electroencephalography headband (HB) and actigraphy (ACT) against polysomnography (PSG).
Focused on older adults experiencing sleep disturbances.
Evaluated accuracy and feasibility of both measurement devices.
The HB showed better performance than ACT, especially in the poorest sleepers.
Both devices were deemed accurate and feasible for assessing sleep health in older adults.

Implication

A comparison shows that an EEG-measuring headband outperforms actigraphy in older adults, suggesting better sleep assessment tools.

Abstract

The HB outperformed ACT, including among the poorest sleepers. Devices like the HB are accurate, feasible, and could advance sleep health in older adults.
