ℹ️Great to see the result of our team's collaboration with the Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford informing work by Google Research for their Fitbit and Pixel Watch devices!

⌚We previously shared this publication (see below), which revisited the scoring of slow wave (N3) sleep. Google Research recently adapted the methodology from the paper to relabel training and evaluation data used for Google's updated AI sleep staging models for wearable devices.

It’s great to see fundamental sleep physiology research informing consumer sleep technology!
