The American Sleep Apnea Association, Apple and IBM have begun a study about the impact of sleep quality on daily activity level, alertness, productivity, health and medical conditions. iPhone and Apple Watch sensors and the ResearchKit framework collect data from healthy and unhealthy sleepers, which is sent to the Watson Health Cloud.
The SleepHealth app uses the watch’s heart rate monitor to detect sleep, and gathers movement data with its accelerometer and gyroscope. The app includes a “personal sleep concierge” and nap tracker, meant to help users develop better sleeping habits.
Data is stored and analyzed on the Watson Health Cloud, allowing researchers to see common patterns . The long term goal is to develop effective interventions.
