Table 5 Comparison of angle algorithm performance for the BBVS dataset by the limb on which the device was worn. All participants wore devices on their dominant (dw) and non-dominant (ndw) wrist as well as on their thigh. The best performance metrics were obtained for the non-dominant wrist device, but thigh wearables gave the least time differences overall in terms of total sleep time (TST), sleep onset and offset. BBVS TST for diaries mean ± 95% CI = 7.739 ± 0.073 hours (464.34 ± 4.38 minutes).
