Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

Researchers in Switzerland are studying how well contactless sleep sensors measure sleep in older adults living in retirement and nursing homes. Over 14 days, 52 residents will have their sleep tracked to see how much sleep quality varies from night to night. The goal is to find the smallest change in sleep that the sensors can reliably detect, which could help care homes monitor sleep without overnight stays in a sleep laboratory.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
contactless sleep sensor monitoring
What this could lead to
If the sensors prove reliable across days, nursing homes could monitor residents' sleep without wires or sleep-lab visits, making it easier to spot sleep problems and track whether treatments help.
What could go wrong
This is a small measurement study in 52 people, so it cannot show whether the sensors improve health or sleep. Results may not apply to residents with dementia, who are excluded, or to other care settings.
