Validation of actigraphy sleep metrics in children aged 8 to 16  years: considerations for device type, placement and algorithms

CONCLUSION: Although the performance of existing count-based sleep algorithms varies markedly, wrist-worn devices provide more accurate measures of most sleep measures compared to other sites. Overall, the HDZCA algorithm showed the greatest accuracy, although the most appropriate algorithm depends on the sleep measure of focus.PMID:38627708 | DOI:10.1186/s12966-024-01590-x
