Abstract in brief

  • Consumer Sleep Technologies (CSTs) are widely used devices claiming to measure and improve sleep, but lack validation against standard diagnostic methods like polysomnography.
  • The American Academy of Sleep Medicine advises that CSTs should not be used for diagnosing or treating sleep disorders due to their current limitations, but they can be helpful in enhancing patient-clinician communication.
  • For CSTs to be more useful in clinical practice and sleep research, improvements such as validation, access to raw data, better algorithms, and regulatory oversight are necessary.]
