We are proud to announce that Professor Ugo Faraguna, President and co-founder of Sleepacta S.r.l., has co-authored a significant “Review” published in the scientific journal Bioengineering.

The article, titled “Beyond the Sleep Lab: A Narrative Review of Wearable Sleep Monitoring“, analyzes the paradigm shift in sleep research, which has traditionally been investigated through laboratory-based polysomnography (PSG). While PSG is considered the gold standard, the review notes that its high cost, complexity, and the artificial lab environment limit its practicality for widespread, long-term monitoring.

The publication traces the evolution of the technology, from early actigraphic methods to current multi-sensor and AI-driven wearable systems. These new tools enable non-invasive, long-term, and real-world monitoring. 

The authors examine the clinical applications of wearable monitors for remote patient management and personalized medicine. The article concludes by outlining future directions, including the integration of multimodal biosensing and standardized validation frameworks, where Sleepacta is committed to being at the forefront of the field.

As the review highlights, these technologies promise to “bridge laboratory precision with ecological validity”, potentially redefining the standard for sleep assessment and advancing individualized care.
