Sleep researchProtocol review

Sleep movement video analysis for circadian and restlessness studies

Use video as a reviewable companion to sleep and circadian measures when studies need visible movement-event context.

Study measures

What the camera can measure

These outputs are designed for study comparison, rater review, and statistical analysis. They are not diagnostic claims.

Movement event count

body or limb displacement above protocol threshold

Posture transition

body orientation change over time

Restlessness segment

clustered movement over a defined interval

Aligned event timestamp

video event time synchronized to external sleep measures

Study setup

Build the task around your protocol

ConductVision works best when the task, camera setup, annotations, and export fields are defined before the first participant visit.

Task presets

  • overnight movement review
  • rest interval monitoring
  • posture change coding
  • limb movement event review

Researcher annotations

  • lights off/on
  • PSG or actigraphy timestamps
  • artifact period
  • rater event label

Export fields

  • movement events
  • posture transitions
  • restlessness segments
  • time-aligned review notes

Camera setup

Low-light or infrared-capable study camera positioned according to consent and privacy requirements.

What is established

Actigraphy, PSG, sleep diaries, and movement-event review are established tools in sleep and circadian research.

What ConductVision quantifies

ConductVision provides visible movement-event timestamps and review segments that can be aligned with external sleep measures.

What still needs validation

Sleep staging, disorder classification, and clinical interpretation require validated sleep instruments and qualified review.

Data export

Reviewable data for analysis teams

Exports are built for study notebooks, statistical analysis, and rater review. The video remains available for audit when the protocol allows it.

Frame-level landmark coordinates with confidence values
Event timestamps for starts, stops, repetitions, pauses, and task phases
JSON review files for overlays, researcher notes, and audit history

Scientific context for the task family

These links point to the measurement areas researchers commonly use when validating a protocol.

Research-use measurement note

ConductVision outputs are research-use measurements unless a customer has completed their own clinical validation, regulatory review, and intended-use controls. The study team remains responsible for consent, privacy, camera calibration, rater review, and clinical interpretation.
