With this study, to the best of our knowledge, a reliable, nonobtrusive, and real-time sleep staging algorithm was developed for the first time for preterm infants. Deploying this algorithm in the NICU environment may assist and adapt bedside clinical work based on infants' sleep-wake states, potentially promoting the early brain development and well-being of preterm infants.
