Effects of Touchscreen Media Use on Toddlers’ Sleep: Insights from Longtime ECG Monitoring

Wearable biomedical sensor technology enables reliable monitoring of physiological data, even in very young children. The purpose of the present study was to develop algorithms for gaining valid physiological indicators of sleep quality in toddlers, using data from an undisturbing and easy-to-use we...
