Performance of an Electroencephalography-Measuring Headband or Actigraphy Compared with Polysomnography in Older Adults with Sleep Disturbances.

Key Points

• 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.
