Wrist actigraphy is a standard measure for monitoring naturalistic sleep patterns; however, data quality is compromised if participants remove the device for daily activities (e.g., baths, exercise).

The Actigpatch is a novel, adhesive water-resistant wearable that we have previously demonstrated as comparable to wrist actigraphy for traditional sleep-wake estimation1.

Here we compare assessment of nonparametric activity indexes.
