How Wearable Sleep Trackers Are Changing Insomnia Treatment

from The Wearable Tech Podcast with Fexingo: Smartwatches, Fitness Trackers, and Health Devices · host Fexingo

Lucas and Luna explore how wearable sleep trackers are moving beyond simple sleep stage tracking to become clinical tools for insomnia treatment. They discuss the rise of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) delivered via smartwatches and rings, the FDA clearance of a prescription digital therapeutic for chronic insomnia, and the data showing that wearable-guided sleep restriction therapy improves sleep efficiency by 12% in six weeks. The episode also covers the challenge of placebo effects in sleep tracking and why the oura ring's sleep staging algorithm outperforms actigraphy. A focused look at one specific clinical trial and one startup changing how doctors prescribe sleep interventions. #WearableTech #SleepTracking #Insomnia #CBTI #DigitalTherapeutics #OuraRing #SleepHealth #ClinicalTrials #FDA #SleepRestriction #HealthTech #WearableDevices #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #SleepScience #InsomniaTreatment #WearableSensors Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
