How much can a wearable actually tell you about your sleep? webinar
Hi makers,
Most wearables are good at telling when you're asleep. They're much worse at telling when you're awake: if you lie still, many devices count it as sleep. Sleep stages land somewhere in between. And Apple, Oura, Garmin, Whoop and Fitbit all build their scores differently, so the same night can get very different numbers.
Anna D. Zych, PhD, a neuroscientist and Health Science Lead at Momentum, goes through all of this in a webinar that premieres Wednesday, 7 October at 16:00 CET. It covers what good sleep actually looks like, how wearables compare to a sleep lab across ten devices, and how to approach building sleep scoring models.
If you're building anything with sleep or recovery data, it should be a useful hour. Everyone who signs up gets the recording too.
The Wearables Integration Playbook 2.0 is out
Quick update for anyone who followed the Open Wearables launch.
We just published the second edition of our Wearables Integration Playbook. It's the written version of what we learned building the platform and seeing it run in production.
Why does your recovery score say 58% today?
I wear a WHOOP. I've coached people on movement and sleep for many years and I still can't answer that question for myself. The algorithm is locked. You get a number, you trust it, you stop there.
When we built Open Wearables, we decided the scoring layer should work differently. Sleep Score and Resilience Score shipped in v0.5 - every coefficient, every threshold, every weighting is in the repo and you can fork them, tune for endurance athletes or elder care or clinical populations. Moreover, you run them on your own infrastructure and the same algorithms feed the MCP layer so AI coaching can cite the actual data behind a recommendation instead of approximating.
Cool! Is there HIPAA compliance?
@abod_rehman Thanks for the kind words!
@abod_rehman Some providers (Apple, yeah, it's about you!) forced us to keep an eye on that issue early ;)
@abod_rehman and good to see this open sourced as well!
