You’ll use a new sleep tracking device in your own home for 7 consecutive nights.

The device sits underneath your pillow and collects information about your sleep. You'll also use an accompanying mobile app to view information collected by the device.

We want to understand:

• how easy and comfortable the technology is to use
• whether the sleep information is useful and easy to understand
• whether it helps you learn something about your sleep
• how the information makes you feel about your sleep
• whether sleep tracking changes how you think about your wellbeing
• what could make the technology more useful and supportive

Overall, you'll complete three surveys via an easy to use, online form.

There are no right or wrong answers. If you don't like something, find something confusing, or don't find the technology helpful, we want to know that too.

If selected, you will be asked to:

• complete a short survey before starting
• set up the sleep tracking device in your bedroom
• download and set up the accompanying app
• use the device for 7 consecutive nights
• complete one short survey during the trial
• complete a final survey about your experience

You may also be invited to participate in an optional interview or focus group, and some participants may be eligible for Part 2 of the project.

You may be eligible if you:

• are in your 30s, 40s or 50s
• live in Melbourne and have a secure postal address
• have multiple caregiving responsibilities, such as caring for children and ageing parents
• are interested in understanding or improving your sleep, or experience minor sleep concerns such as sometimes having difficulty falling asleep
• have a compatible, secure mobile phone
• have access to a power point near your bed
• sleep with a pillow, as the tracking device sits underneath it

Additional eligibility criteria apply. We'll ask you a few questions in the Expression of Interest form to determine whether the trial is suitable for you.

Participants who complete the 7-day trial will receive a $100 gift card as thanks for their time and feedback.

The device will collect information about your sleep via a tracking device positioned underneath your pillow.

We will also ask you to provide information about yourself, your sleep and your experience of using the technology.

Your information will be kept securely with Shapes and Sounds. You can view our Privacy Policy HERE. Information regarding you and your sleep will be de-identified and shared with our partners, AIBUILD and Aurora AI. Our partners will only be able to identify you if you reach out to them for technical support during the trial, however they will not be able to match your identity with your enquiry unless specified.
