SRS Podcast (#6): A Multisensor Ring's Ability to Evaluate Sleep Using Generalized and Personalized Algorithms - Dr. Michael Grandner

Episode Summary:

In this month’s episode Jesse Cook (Host) sits down with Dr. Micheal Grandner to discuss his recently published paper in journal SLEEP that comprehensively evaluated the performance abilities of a novel, multisensor sleep wearable device: The Happy Ring. A component of this investigation was to assess differences in performance abilities between The Happy Ring’s generalized and personalized algorithms. Here is a link to the article on the SLEEP journal website.
