This research aims to contribute to the development of a novel commercial sleep wearable. The preliminary objectives are currently: 1) Perform research that quantitatively assesses the device's ability to accurately classify sleep. 2) Qualitatively explore how the device may be able to promote healthy sleep in the general population through behaviour change. This research is taken in partnership with LV, who co-fund this project. Further aims that deviate from the commercial aim of the company will be developed once more details arrive. UK studies have shown a large proportion of borderline-poor (31.6%) and poor sleepers (27.6%) in the adult population. NHS Digital statistics also show that this extends into the young population, with 57.1% of 17-23-year-old respondents reporting problems with sleep on 3 or more nights in the week. Poor sleep (too little or too much) is adversely associated with a range of non-communicable diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, stroke, and type II diabetes. In day-to-day circumstances, poor sleep affects cognitive performance, increasing the likelihood of occupational injury and decreasing productivity. Ubiquitous computing can support the general population in achieving healthy sleep behaviour. Low-cost and accurate sensors can build user awareness of sleep habits. Although widely adopted, commercial sensors have been limited in achieving behaviour change, often failing to utilise the increased awareness the devices permit and channel this into an effective sleep intervention. As with other self-guided digital interventions, including those aimed at sleep, attrition (drop-off in use) has also been highlighted as a limitation of commercial sleep trackers.

这项研究旨在促进一种新型商业睡眠可穿戴设备的发展。目前的初步目标是：1)进行研究，定量评估该设备准确分类睡眠的能力。2)定性地探索该设备如何能够通过改变行为来促进普通人群的健康睡眠。这项研究是与LV合作进行的，他们共同资助了这个项目。一旦获得更多细节，将进一步制定偏离公司商业目标的目标。英国的研究表明，在成年人中，有很大比例的人处于睡眠不良的边缘（31.6%）和睡眠不良（27.6%）。NHS数字统计数据还显示，这一问题也延伸到了年轻人身上，在17-23岁的受访者中，有57.1%的人表示一周有3个或更多的晚上存在睡眠问题。睡眠不足（过少或过多）与一系列非传染性疾病（如心血管疾病、中风和II型糖尿病）有不利关系。在日常生活中，睡眠不足会影响认知能力，增加职业伤害的可能性，降低工作效率。无处不在的计算可以支持一般人群实现健康的睡眠行为。低成本和精确的传感器可以建立用户对睡眠习惯的意识。虽然被广泛采用，但商业传感器在实现行为改变方面受到限制，通常无法利用设备允许的增强意识，并将其转化为有效的睡眠干预。与其他自我引导的数字干预措施一样，包括那些针对睡眠的干预措施，损耗（使用量下降）也被强调为商业睡眠追踪器的一个局限性。
