Use of sensing technologies to assess sleep quality and physical activity levels in nursing home residents with dementia taking nightly psychotropic drugs for sleep disturbance: a cross-sectional study

The digital biomarkers collected using the selected sensing technologies offered nuanced information regarding sleep behaviors and physical activity levels, providing detailed distinction between the groups. Sensing technologies may be a promising companion to the currently used proxy-rated assessment tools for sleep disturbance and physical activity levels for people with dementia residing in nursing homes.
