Physical Activity, Sleep, and Breathing Data for SLE and SjD Patients vs. Healthy Controls

29 Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and 29 Sjögren's disease (SjD) patients, plus 37 healthy controls, were monitored for 6 months using wrist-worn actigraphy and a non-contact radio wave sleep sensor. The dataset, authored by Mehdi Boukhechba and shared under CC-BY-4.0, contains digital measures of physical activity, sleep staging, and breathing signals, alongside self-reported eDiaries and clinical assessments. Results indicate lower physical activity in both patient groups and impaired sleep/breathing in SLE patients compared to controls.

Use Cases

• Profiling disease phenotypes based on patterns of physical activity, sleep quality, and breathing variability.
• Investigating correlations between objective sensor data (e.g., actigraphy, radio wave signals) and subjective symptom reports from eDiaries.
• Training models to distinguish between SLE, SjD, and healthy control groups using multimodal time-series data.
• Evaluating the association between digital breathing measures (rate and variability) and clinical disease activity scores.

Strengths

• Includes a matched control group of 37 healthy participants for comparative analysis.
• Multimodal data collection from two device types (ActiGraph wristwatch and Emerald radio wave sensor) over a 6-month study period.
• Clinical context is provided through administered disease activity assessments and self-reported eDiaries.

Limitations

• The dataset is relatively small, with 95 total participants (29 SLE, 29 SjD, 37 controls).
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for some machine learning tasks.
