Summary: REST supports research and technology development to measure sleep quality at home and improve it through personalized, non-invasive, real-time interventions.
Description
The Restorative & health-Enhancing Sleep Time (REST) program, run by the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H), aims to make sleep a measurable, personalized, and controllable driver of health. It seeks to move beyond broad measures such as sleep duration, timing, and stages by identifying physiological features that predict meaningful health outcomes.
REST advances two complementary technical areas: measuring and diagnosing sleep quality at home with clinical fidelity, and developing non-invasive, closed-loop systems that treat sleep problems through real-time interventions throughout the night. The program brings together discovery science, advanced sensing, machine learning, diagnostics, and intervention technologies. Its goal is to enable clinically meaningful home sleep assessment and adaptive interventions that respond to an individual’s physiology, using health outcomes as the ground truth for sleep quality.
