Sleep tight: new wearable sensor sheds light on getting the best rest

Monash University researchers, including Professor Sean Cain and Associate Professor Andrew Phillips from the Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences, and Professor Jon McCormack, Elliott Wilson, and Dr Rowan Page from SensiLab, have developed a wearable device called 'MiEye'.

The device records the impact of artificial light on the body, helping users to improve sleep and mental wellbeing, and treat chronic health conditions. The MiEye sensor, which senses light over 11 channels, provides feedback to a smartphone app to help manage circadian rhythms.

This innovation aims to aid in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, mental health issues, cardiovascular disease, and hypertension, and is expected to be available to the public during 2025.
