Abstracts from our cutting-edge think tank of scientists, engineers, physicians, academic experts, and thought leaders
Sleep Health Daylight saving time and sleep in children 4-24 months of age
In this study we report on the effect of the start of Daylight Saving Time on infants’ sleep utilizing objective sleep metrics. 
Sleep Health Phenotypization of infant sleep by videosomnography

Peer-Reviewed Published Studies

Sleep Health Melatonin use in infants and toddlers
The aim of this study was to examine various aspects of melatonin use by caregivers of infants and toddlers in the US.
Pediatric Health & Wellness The feasibility of remote measurement of infant sleep and motor development
The aim of this study was to test the feasibility of two remote data collection methods for studying sleep and motor development in infancy and the relationship between the two.
Sleep Health A preliminary study on the performance of the Nanit auto-videosomnography scoring system against observed video scoring and actigraphy to estimate sleep-wake states in infants.
The goal was to examine the performance of the Nanit auto-videosomnography scoring system as a measure of sleep-wake states in infants compared to observed video scoring and actigraphy.
