The Big Sleep ACT Project: a novel, ACT-focussed clinical data resource for interdisciplinary research on sleep and sleep-related health

The research proposed under this application will focus on establishing a comprehensive research dataset through collation, curation and organisation of retrospective records taken from a large clinical database of sleep patients from the ACT and the surrounding region. This data has been offered by a local ACT clinical operator to researchers so that its insights and broader public benefit may be explored, maximised and publicised. This research effort is therefore intended to deliver a lasting tangible asset, i.e., an organised and accessible dataset, which will serve as a basis for future basic and applied research in a variety of health and technical disciplines, including but not limited to:Sleep medicineAdvanced signal processingHealth informaticsPopulation healthChronic disease management Mental health
