New Perspectives in Nonintrusive Sleep Monitoring for Neurodegenerative Diseases—A Narrative Review
Abstract
:1. Introduction
- To update and simplify the work of medical staff by automating or semi-automating certain procedures—such as sleep staging or sleep disorders diagnosis—through new instrumentation.
- To verify medical treatment efficacy and, eventually, to optimize it, through sleep monitoring.
- To ensure frequent or continuous follow-up by providing instrumentation and protocols to be used in non-hospital settings.
1.1. Background of Sleep Monitoring in Neurodegenerative Diseases
- Insomnia.
- Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS).
- Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD).
- Periodic leg movements in sleep (PLMS).
- Restless legs syndrome (RLS).
- Central or obstructive sleep apnea (CSA, OSA).
- Sleep disordered Breathing (SDS).
- Nocturnal stridor.
- Circadian rhythm disorders.
1.2. Overview of Technologies for Neurodegenerative Diseases
2. Materials and Methods
- Customized queries using keywords and Boolean operators in the form “(Neurodegenerative Disorder OR Parkinson OR Alzheimer OR Huntington OR Lewy Body OR amyotrophic lateral sclerosis OR Ataxia OR Dementia OR Tremor) AND (sleep monitoring) AND (sensor OR IoT OR smart sensor OR environmental sensor OR inertial sensor OR wearable sensor OR optical sensor OR camera OR bed sensor)”.
- Year range restriction to 2010–2022.
- Exclusion of pharmacology, veterinary and construction engineering categories.
- Writing language limitation to English.
