A performance validation of six commercial wrist-worn wearable sleep-tracking devices for sleep stage scoring compared to polysomnography

Our results indicate that all devices can benefit from further improvement for multistate categorization. However, the devices with higher Cohen's kappa coefficients, such as the Fitbit Sense (κ = 0.42), Fitbit Charge 5 (κ = 0.41), and Apple Watch Series 8 (κ = 0.53), could be effectively used to track prolonged and significant changes in sleep architecture.

Abstract

Our results indicate that all devices can benefit from further improvement for multistate categorization. However, the devices with higher Cohen's kappa coefficients, such as the Fitbit Sense (κ = 0.42), Fitbit Charge 5 (κ = 0.41), and Apple Watch Series 8 (κ = 0.53), could be effectively used to track prolonged and significant changes in sleep architecture.
