The circadian rhythm is a 24-hour internal clock that cycles us between sleepiness and alertness at regular intervals. Changes in sleep patterns can offer an important first clue of developing dementia. Using technology developed at the Oregon Center for Technology and Aging, it is possible to capture the strength of circadian rhythms using unobtrusive methods. The data collected from these sensors and circadian rhythm analysis offers important insights into patient health.
