Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for a multi-modal sleep system comprising a data processor for operating in a plurality of operating modes. The data processor may detect at least one sensor providing data to the data processor and determine a sensor type associated with each of the at least one sensor. The data processor may select a mode of operation based on the determined sensor type of the detected at least one sensor and of each of the at least one sensor. A first of the plurality of operating modes may be selected in response to determining that the at least one detected sensor includes a first sensor type or combination of sensor types. The data processor may be configured to receive data from the at least one detected sensor and process the received data according to the selected mode of operation to output a characterization of a user's sleep.
