Projects and Research
SonnoLab, research in the company DNA
Sleepacta‘s foundations lie in the fertile soil of academic research. In particular, the nature of the university spinoff is such that Sleepacta’s R&D component is developed within SonnoLab. This laboratory is based at the “Giuseppe Moruzzi” Institute of Physiology of the University of Pisa, one of the temples of modern sleep research. SonnoLab hosts research fellows, Ph.D. students, and students from the Schools of Medicine and Engineering. One of the main research lines concerns the validation and development of wearable sleep monitoring systems, feeding the concept of technology transfer and academic third mission.
Scientific Projects
In cooperation with many institutions and research centers, Sleepacta has actively participated and is still participating in numerous scientific research projects:
- Juvenile Diabetes Association and Pediatric Diabetology Unit, Pediatric Department, S. Chiara General Hospital: Impact of intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring with alarms on sleep and metabolic outcomes in children and adolescent with type 1 diabete.
- Dravet Italia Onlus: Non-invasive sleep monitoring in Dravet patients.
- Sleep and Memory Lab (University of Amsterdam): Development of indexes to non-invasively monitor sleep stages via actigraphic measurements.
- SIN-DEM (Autonomous Member Association of the Italian Society of Neurology for Dementia): Multicenter Study on Sleep and Circadian Alterations as Objective Markers of Mild Cognitive Impairment and Alzheimer’s Disease Reveals Sex Differences.
- Chalfont (UCL) – Department of Clinical and Experimental Epilepsy, UCL Quenn Square Institute of Neurology National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery and Chalfont Centre for Epilepsy: Actigraphic sleep monitoring in epileptic patients. Investigation on the circadian distribution of seizures and cortical excitability.
