Real-time unobtrusive sleep monitoring of in-patients with affective disorders: a feasibility study
arxiv(2023)
摘要
Sleep and mental health are highly related concepts, and it is an important
research and clinical priority to understand their interactions. In-bed sensors
using ballistocardiography provide the possibility of unobtrusive measurements
of sleep. In this study, we examined the feasibility of ballistocardiography in
measuring key aspects of sleep in psychiatric in-patients. Specifically, we
examined a sample of patients diagnosed with depression and bipolar disorder.
The subjective experiences of the researchers conducting the study are explored
and descriptive analyses of patient sleep are subsequently presented. The
practicalities of using the ballistocardiography device seem to be favourable.
There were no apparent issues regarding data quality or data integrity. Of
clinical interest, we found no link between length of stay and reduced time in
bed (b = -0.06, SE = 0.03, t = -1.76, p = .08). Using ballistocardiography for
measurements on in-patients with affective disorders seems to be a feasible
approach.
