What this Trial Is About
The goal of this cross-sectional, observational, medical device trial is to examine the association of several sleep parameters, including specific respiratory events and an apnea-hypopnea index, with cognitive performance in older adults. The main question the study aims to answer is: Is there an association between sleep parameters with cognitive performance? Researchers will collect sleep parameters from participants using a device called the ANNE Vital Sign System and will test whether they are associated with performance on different memory and thinking tasks. Participants will: Complete a battery of cognitive tests to assess their memory and thinking performance. Wear the ANNE Vital Sign System continuously for a period of 24 hours.
