The previous American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) Consumer and Clinical Technology Committee and the subsequent Technology Innovation Committee have assessed a wide range of consumer and clinical sleep technologies. These assessments are available for AASM members on the AASM website (# SleepTechnology, found in the clinical resources section). 1 Sleep device/application (app) assessments include product claimed capabilities, narrative summaries, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) status, sensors, mechanisms, data outputs, raw data if available, application programming interfaces (APIs) if accessible, similar devices/apps, and if there are peer-reviewed validation studies or clinical trials. Assessments are intended to assist members in general product understanding and do not represent product endorsement. An updated list of commonly used sleep (device/app) technology terms, in order from simple to more complex terms, is provided in Table 1. Over the past few years, we have seen the evolution of some consumer sleep technologies used for self-tracking and/or selfhelp, to devices/apps with potentially meaningful clinical diagnostic, therapeutic, and/or long-term data tracking uses. See Figure 1 and the following descriptions of types of sleep device/app technologies.

Consumer grade technologies generally promote sleep selfawareness and/or may provide suggestions for improving sleep. Definitions of metrics like “sleep quality” or “sleep scores” may vary between devices/apps. Consumer devices/apps do not require a prescription. They may or may not be registered for FDA wellness and sports use. 2 Popular sleep/wake tracking
