Wearable devices and blood tests for sleep in Alzheimer's
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses wrist monitors and blood tests to understand sleep problems in people with Alzheimer's dementia. It aims to improve sleep management through digital therapy and personalized insights.
