A systematic data analysis of sleep patterns in different individuals
The UvA research team led by Tessa Blanken developed a systematic data analysis of sleep patterns in different individuals. Using the Sleep Explorer by Mona Klau, people can explore sleep patterns for the individuals in the dataset.
The project shows a new approach to communicating data: instead of reading a scientific paper, users can interactively explore and query the underlying dataset through an app. It will also be possible to include one’s own data in the app and gain insight into personal sleep patterns.
