Résumé

Nocturnal disturbances are a common symptom experienced by People Living with Dementia (PLWD), and these often present prior to diagnosis. Whilst sleep anomalies have been frequently reported, most studies have been conducted in lab environments, which are expensive, invasive and not natural sleeping environments. In this study, we investigate the use of in-home nocturnal monitoring technologies, which enable passive data collection, at low cost, in real-world environments, and without requiring a change in routine. Clustering analysis of passively collected sleep data in the natural sleep environment can help identify distinct sub-groups based on sleep patterns. The analysis uses sleep activity data from; (1) the Minder study, collecting in-home data from PLWD and (2) a general population dataset (combined n = 100, >9500 person-nights). Unsupervised clustering and profiling analysis identifies three distinct clusters. One cluster is predominantly PLWD relative to the two other groups (72% ± 3.22, p = 6.4 × 10 In line with current clinical knowledge, these results suggest detectable dementia sleep phenotypes, highlighting the potential for using passive digital technologies in PLWD, and for  detecting architectural sleep changes more generally. This study indicates the feasibility of leveraging passive in-home technologies for disease monitoring. People living with dementia commonly sleep poorly at night, and this often occurs before they are diagnosed with dementia. We investigated whether a sleep sensor placed under a person’s mattress could monitor sleep activity in people with dementia without disrupting their normal daily routines and behaviour. We compared sleep data collected from both people with dementia and the general population to identify whether differences could be detected. We found identifiable dementia-related sleep patterns, suggesting sleep sensors could be used both to monitor disease and more generally in research. In the future, using these types of sensors could enable better care for people living with dementia by monitoring their sleep.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Nocturnal disturbances are a common symptom experienced by People Living with Dementia (PLWD), and these often present prior to diagnosis. Whilst sleep anomalies have been frequently reported, most studies have been conducted in lab environments, which are expensive, invasive and not natural sleeping environments. In this study, we investigate the use of in-home nocturnal monitoring technologies, which enable passive data collection, at low cost, in real-world environments, and without requiring a change in routine.
METHODS METHODS
Clustering analysis of passively collected sleep data in the natural sleep environment can help identify distinct sub-groups based on sleep patterns. The analysis uses sleep activity data from; (1) the Minder study, collecting in-home data from PLWD and (2) a general population dataset (combined n = 100, >9500 person-nights).
RESULTS RESULTS
Unsupervised clustering and profiling analysis identifies three distinct clusters. One cluster is predominantly PLWD relative to the two other groups (72% ± 3.22, p = 6.4 × 10
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
In line with current clinical knowledge, these results suggest detectable dementia sleep phenotypes, highlighting the potential for using passive digital technologies in PLWD, and for  detecting architectural sleep changes more generally. This study indicates the feasibility of leveraging passive in-home technologies for disease monitoring.
People living with dementia commonly sleep poorly at night, and this often occurs before they are diagnosed with dementia. We investigated whether a sleep sensor placed under a person’s mattress could monitor sleep activity in people with dementia without disrupting their normal daily routines and behaviour. We compared sleep data collected from both people with dementia and the general population to identify whether differences could be detected. We found identifiable dementia-related sleep patterns, suggesting sleep sensors could be used both to monitor disease and more generally in research. In the future, using these types of sensors could enable better care for people living with dementia by monitoring their sleep.
