Sleep Position Pattern Recording

Not yet recruiting
Conditions
Pregnant Women
Interventions
Device: Skiin Garment system
Registration Number
NCT06286904
Lead Sponsor
Myant Medical Corp.
Brief Summary

The main goal of this study is to validate the accuracy of the body position detection by non-invasive wearable monitors (Skiin garments, Myant Medical Corp) during sleep in pregnant participants. This is a first step towards examining the association between maternal sleep position and fetal growth.

Detailed Description

Individuals who are eligible to the study and provided consent to participate will be asked to:

1. Wear the Skiin Garment system for the duration of their time in the hospital (minimum 1 nights until they are discharged from hospital).

2. Complete a study completion questionnaire about their experience with the device and the study.

The Skiin Garment system is composed by biosensing garments presented in different form factors (bra, chest band, or underwear). It captures physiological metrics and relay information from a pod to local hub with Bluetooth.

The true body position will be obtained using visual observations and cameras.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Accuracy of Skiin Garment system for detecting sleep position of pregnant womenRecorded during the night, during 6 to 8 hours.

Sleep position will be identified through the Skiin Garment system via accelerometry, and compared to visual confirmation of sleep position.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Participant retention rateFrom the beginning to the end of participation, up to 1 year.

The retention rate will be calculated as the number of participants who remain in the study divided by the number of participants who initially consent to participate.

Questionnaire on wearable device invasiveness and satisfactionOne time point, on the morning after one night wearing the Skiin Garment system

Pregnant women will be asked to answer a questionnaire at the end of their participation in the study. It contains questions related to patients' experience wearing the Skiin Garment system, including invasiveness and satisfaction.

This is an ad-hoc questionnaire titled "SPV_Satisfaction_Questionnaire_v1_2023-04-03" containing 20 questions: 14 questions use a Likert scale design, 3 questions are single choice answer, and 3 questions are open-ended questions. Results are not reported as a total score on a scale but descriptive statistics will be used individually per question.

Participant recruitment rateFrom the beginning to the end of the recruitment, up to 1 year.

Recruitment rate will be calculated as the number of participants who consent to participant divided by the number of participants who consent to be contacted.
