Doctors warn that sleep apps aren鈥檛 accurate
LOCAL medical experts are warning that sleep-monitoring apps on smartphones are not as accurate as monitoring conducted in hospitals and people with long-term sleep disorders should seek professional treatment.
World Sleep Day is Friday.
“Sleep is a very complicated life phenomena,” said Dr Liu Jianguo from Shanghai Ren’ai Hospital. “Hospitals use professional machines to monitor a person’s sleep and the whole process is under strict administration of medical staff.”
He said electrodes are placed on a person’s scalp, face, chest and legs to monitor the brain, sleep behavior, muscles and nerves. Machines also record an individual’s breathing and “special events” during sleep.
“Sleep disorders that require professional intervention can’t be identified and monitored through apps,” Liu said. “People with such problems need to see a doctor.”
