Project Abstract Millions of pediatric patients with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) suffer from sleep disturbances that significantly degrade their quality of life and amplifies the heavy emotional and financial burden on caregivers. Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is a likely (and treatable) factor for the sleep disturbance in these patients. Oral iron therapy has been shown to improve both sleep and ADHD symptoms in children. However, RLS is currently difficult to diagnose, particularly in pediatric patients with ADHD. The diagnosis is made clinically with subjective, patient reports and the symptoms themselves are variable across individuals. Thus, patients with ADHD who may already have difficulty with verbal expression are especially vulnerable to being misdiagnosed. RestEaze is an ankle-worn wearable technology and mobile application developed by Tanzen Medical Inc. to measure leg movements during sleep that are highly related to RLS and can serve as an objective biomarker of the condition. The device is industrially designed to be comfortably worn by the patient and washable to permit extended, nightly use. The mobile application is easy to use by the patient (or caregiver) to interact with and store data from the device. The read-out provided to the clinician provides clear, actionable information that quantifies the patients’ leg movements during sleep in reference to American Academy of Sleep Medicine standards. In sum, RestEaze directly addresses a significant unmet medical need by providing a technology that can substantially improve the diagnosis and subsequent management of RLS in pediatric patients with ADHD. The use of this technology is expected to improve the quality of life for patients with ADHD and their caregivers by directly addressing their sleep disturbance.

项目摘要 数百万患有注意力缺陷/多动障碍(ADHD)的儿童患者遭受睡眠障碍 这大大降低了他们的生活质量，并放大了他们沉重的情感和经济负担 照顾者。不宁腿综合症(RLS)是这些人睡眠障碍的一个可能(和可治疗的)因素 病人。口服铁质疗法已被证明可以改善儿童的睡眠和多动症症状。然而， RLS目前很难诊断，特别是在患有ADHD的儿童患者中。这种诊断是在临床上做出的。 在主观方面，患者报告和症状本身因个人而异。因此，患有 可能已经有语言表达困难的ADHD患者特别容易被误诊。 RestEaze是一种脚踝可穿戴的可穿戴技术和移动应用程序，由Tanzen Medical Inc.开发 测量睡眠中与RLS高度相关的腿部运动，并可作为RLS的客观生物标志物 这种情况。该设备经过工业设计，患者可以舒适地佩戴，并且可以洗涤以允许 延长使用时间，夜间使用。患者(或护理人员)可以轻松使用移动应用程序进行交互 存储设备中的数据。提供给临床医生的读数提供了清晰、可操作的信息 参考美国睡眠医学学会量化患者在睡眠期间的腿部运动 标准。总而言之，RESTEaze通过提供一种技术，直接满足了一个重要的未得到满足的医疗需求 这可以显著改善儿童RLS的诊断和后续治疗 多动症。这项技术的使用有望改善ADHD患者和他们的生活质量 通过直接解决他们的睡眠障碍来帮助照顾者。
