Registry summary

The goal of this cross-sectional, observational, medical device trial is to examine the association of several sleep parameters, including specific respiratory events and an apnea-hypopnea index, with cognitive performance in older adults. The main question the study aims to answer is:

Is there an association between sleep parameters with cognitive performance?

Researchers will collect sleep parameters from participants using a device called the ANNE Vital Sign System and will test whether they are associated with performance on different memory and thinking tasks.

Participants will:

Complete a battery of cognitive tests to assess their memory and thinking performance.

Wear the ANNE Vital Sign System continuously for a period of 24 hours.
