Why Sleep Matters in Dementia
Slow-wave sleep disruptions accelerate neurodegeneration and worsen caregiver burden. Dreamz delivers non-pharmacological support designed to preserve restorative sleep while collecting meaningful biomarkers.
- Targets hypersynchronous evoked potentials (HEP) associated with memory consolidation.
- Supports autonomic balance, easing nocturnal agitation for caregivers and patients.
- Integrates with existing routines outlined in the Sleep Hygiene Companion Guide.
Active Studies & Outcomes
Boston Restorative Clinic Dementia Pilot
Phase I feasibility with 18 caregiver-patient pairs tracking slow-wave sleep metrics and quality-of-life surveys.
- HEP amplitude increased 12% after four weeks of Dreamz use.
- Caregiver sleep efficiency improved from 71% to 80%.
- No serious adverse events; nightly comfort aligned with Dreamz safety FAQ.

Somnus Memory Clinic Longitudinal Study
Two-year observational study pairing Dreamz usage with cognitive batteries for mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
- Participants using Dreamz maintained nightly deep sleep within 10% of baseline vs. 24% decline in controls.
- Quarterly caregiver surveys show 35% reduction in nighttime interventions.
- Machine learning model flags HEP changes for clinician review via the white paper appendix.

EU REMbridge Consortium
Multicenter collaboration evaluating Dreamz for dementia-related REM behavior disorder and agitation.
- Preliminary results show 28% reduction in nighttime wandering episodes.
- Integrates with caregiver dashboards described on the Dreamz product page.
- Recruitment prioritizes diverse populations; outcomes feed into the trial update hub.

Biomarkers & Monitoring
Hypersynchronous Evoked Potentials
Dreamz captures HEP responses to track neural plasticity. Clinicians can export weekly reports that integrate with EMR systems.
Autonomic Balance
High-frequency HRV and nighttime respiratory rate trend toward homeostasis after consistent Dreamz use, supporting parasympathetic recovery.
Caregiver Dashboard
Guided prompts encourage nightly check-ins and link back to the caregiver toolkit for support.
