Evaluation of Circadian OS Technology on Melatonin Suppression
Abstract
Primary Objective: Evaluate how the Circadian OS iPad-based light intervention suppresses melatonin. This small pilot study is designed to validate the Circadian OS technology by testing physiological response using melatonin suppression. The study aims to evaluate how the Circadian OS iPad-based light intervention influences sleepiness as measured objectively via suppression of melatonin and subjectively via the Karolinska Sleepiness scale.
Conditions: Circadian Disruption.
Primary outcome: Melatonin Level.
Enrollment: 10 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 10 participants or records.
