Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for evaluating a sleep quality of a user using wearable-based data are described. The sleep quality of a user may be evaluated by combining physiological data collected via a wearable device, along with environmental sound data collected via one or more external devices. For example, a microphone on a device may monitor environmental sounds while a user sleeps, and the environmental sounds may be used to improve sleep stage classification. Additionally, or alternatively, sound instances occurring throughout a sleep interval may be identified. In some examples, sound data may be combined with other data, such as physiological data, to determine relationships between the sleep sound data and sleep quality. An indication of the sleep stages and transitions between the sleep stages, the sound instances, the sleep quality, or a combination thereof, may be presented to the user via an application.
