title: Out of touch : from audio recordings to phone apps to mattress sensors, noncontact systems offer a less cumbersome way to monitor sleep.
abstract: The impact of poor and disrupted sleep on an individual is significant, affecting the quality of life physiologically, psychologically, and financially. It is estimated that a large population of people who suffer from sleep disorders is unaware of the condition and remains undiagnosed [1], creating a need (and desire) to self-monitor. However, sleep screening is generally cumbersome and complex, requiring multiple wearable sensors (and associated wires) and experts to interpret the large volumes of data.
