A pioneering new study will use phone apps to explore the link between sleep quality and the risk of Alzheimer's disease. The landmark research will see the University of Cambridge and University College London (UCL) teaming up with sleep technology company Sleep Cycle to explore how app-based sleep-tracking data can help detect Alzheimer's disease in its early stages.
The partnership will combine Sleep Cycle's extensive sleep data with the universities' previous explorations of the links between sense of direction, sleep disruptions, and detecting Alzheimer’s disease.
