Nevertheless, thank you again to everyone who joined us for such a remarkable week. We can’t wait to see you all at future events! 🛌💤 Stay tuned for more news! #esrs #SleepEurope2024

(English version 🇬🇧) This Wednesday, we had the opportunity to present a poster on the results of the last three years of our digital sleep literacy project at the European Sleep Research Society Congress in Seville. The main goal was to compare levels of sleep knowledge before and after people engaged with the project and understand if the increase in literacy levels influenced changes in the public’s sleep habits. It was interesting to note that: 🛜 91% of the sample (N=502) seek health information online, which reinforces the importance of qualified healthcare professionals being active online and creating digital content. 📚 After following the project, 64% of the sample reported sleep knowledge levels between 4-5 (good/very good knowledge) vs. 12.3% before following the project. 💤 69% of the sample reported having changed one or more sleep hygiene habits after starting to follow the project, and only a quarter reported not having implemented any changes. 🛌 There was a reduction in dissatisfaction with sleep patterns in 47.8% of the sample after they began following the project, which makes us think that people’s lack of knowledge about what constitutes a "normal" sleep pattern might lead to unrealistic expectations, fueling dissatisfaction with what is actually a normal pattern. On the other hand, increased knowledge levels may have motivated behavioral changes that reduced dissatisfaction with sleep patterns. 🥼 34% of the sample were unaware of the existence of sleep consultations before following the project, and 50% of people had already encouraged someone in their circle to seek specialized consultations after following the project. However, of those who attended a consultation, only 9.1% reported having received adequate information on sleep hygiene, and only 6.1% felt well-informed by the doctor about polysomnography. Despite the limitations inherent in the data collection process and the sample characteristics, these findings give us something to think about in terms of the untapped potential in the area of digital content to improve public sleep literacy and prevent sleep disorders through changes in sleep habits and routines. We would like to thank all the supporters of this project and the participants in the survey who allowed us to produce this poster, as well as our colleagues for their visits and support! Gracias #SleepEurope2024! 🇪🇸

We have reached the end of another amazing day of the congress, which is already a historic edition! 🌟 Thank you for your impressive participation. Have a good rest, and we will see you tomorrow for another another day filled with the latest updates in sleep medicine research! 🌎💤 #SleepEurope2024

[EN] We are pleased to highlight another ESRS Spanish Member Dr. Laura Stankeviciute, PhD , whose research focuses on the role of sleep alterations in ageing and Alzheimer’s disease. Her work particularly focuses on sex differences and the influence of hormonal fluctuations, among other mechanisms, on sleep changes, which may contribute to the increased vulnerability of females to cognitive decline. You can also read more about her work in this paper: https://lnkd.in/d_bmPQMB  Dr. Laura will be presenting her research at the Sleep Europe 2024 today! Her presentation, titled "Sleep in Preclinical Alzheimer’s Disease: Associations with Multimodal Biomarkers," will be featured in the Symposium- Latest advancements in the field of sleep and Alzheimer’s disease: https://lnkd.in/dN2MPsRE 🕒 Session Details:  Date: 25 September Time: 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM  Room: Auditorium 1 [ES] Nos complace destacar a otra miembro de la ESRS, la Dr. Laura Stankeviciute, cuya investigación se centra en el papel de las alteraciones del sueño en el envejecimiento y la enfermedad de Alzheimer. Su trabajo se enfoca especialmente en las diferencias de sexo y en cómo las fluctuaciones hormonales, entre otros mecanismos, contribuyen a estos cambios en el sueño, lo que puede aumentar la vulnerabilidad de las mujeres al deterioro cognitive.

What a start to European Sleep Research Society conference, here in Sevilla! Contactless monitoring and Sleepiz AG was already on up on the slides in the very first session of the conference! Thank you for opening the Masterclass on „Wearable sensors and artificial intelligence for sleep medicine and sleep research: a primer for clinicians and biomedical scientists“, Thomas Penzel A very insightful session providing a comprehensive overview on the current status of technologies used for #sleepmonitoring and assessment. Both in a clinical and a consumer setting. We are as excited as the physicians to see how novel technologies are moving into clinical settings. Important takeaway: to drive use and acceptance in clinical settings, not only validation is needed, but platforms need to open up and share their raw data with physicians. As a medical device Sleepiz, is already clinically validated, certified and provides our data to clinicians trough our software. Another important take-away from a great presentation by Merel van Gilst is that there is a huge variability in sleep scorers for PSG. So we need to re-think approaches on validating performance evaluation of technologies with a „semi-optimal“ gold standard. To an exciting conference ahead! #wearable #sensors #sleep #artificialintelligence #DHT #digitalhealthtechnologies #ESRS #SleepEurope2024
