Based on my interest in adherence research, socio-cultural aspects of medicine, child development and neurology I developed, in collaboration with medical anthropology and educational psychology, a comprehensive functional sleep/wake-behaviours assessment concept and began to transform physiological knowledge with questions of sleep health and management.

In collaboration with the Cognitive Systems Lab at UBC, I have developed a 'Virtual-Sleep-Lab' concept, where Videosomnography is used for screening 'visible' and 'recognizable' sleep disorders in children with neurodevelopmental and mental health disorders in their natural setting, at home. Based on this research, the Inter. RLS Consensus Group has included children with neurodevelopmental delay (NDD) in their recent Consensus Statement.

Our current research focuses on children with NDD, who often have a combination of voluntary and involuntary movements. These movements are associated with hyperactivity and hyper-/hypo-arousability in the wake state, and hyper­motor-restlessness in the sleep state, all summarized as H-Behaviours. H-Behaviours occur across a spectrum of the most frequent developmental, neurologic and mental health conditions such as ADHD, Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) or Willis-Ekbom Disease, tics, Tourette syndrome, anxiety, ASD and FASD. While the H-Behaviour associated movement patterns are very well described in children with ADHD, tics and Tourette syndrome, they are less so in RLS/WED. Additionally, they have not been clearly defined across age, different symptoms and presentations.

Targeting single aspects of such behaviours with pharmacological interventions (stimulants, antidepressants, antipsychotics) increases the likelihood of adverse drug reactions — usually these children/youth are trialed with multiple psychotropic substances. In order to reduce the epidemic of psychotropic substance use, we created the Children's Right to Sleep Initiative (ChildRight2Sleep, CR2S, cr2s.org), an international clinical and technical research consortium dedicated to promoting and transforming the screening and treatment of sleep disturbances and disorders in children and adolescents. CR2S aims to equip healthcare professionals with practical, evidence-based tools to improve early diagnosis and treatment of sleep, alleviate unnecessary suffering and create brighter futures for children and their families. The CR2S inaugural conference in Vienna in May 2025 brought together experts from 12 countries, industry partners, and advocacy groups to create a 'safe space' for critical discussions and foster dialogue on how sleep is more than rest — it’s a powerful tool for preventing illness and promoting recovery. Sleep is prevention!

NeuroDevNet "Better Days/Better Nights"

SWAPPs 4KIDS with NDDs. Structured functional Sleep/Wake Behaviour assessment in children with neurodevelopmental disabilities/disorders & monitoring therapeutic interventions.

Overview: Our team has developed a web app (sleep/wake behaviours App, SWAPP) to facilitate recognition, characterization and monitoring of sleep problems (SPs) and daytime sequelae in children and youth with neurodevelopmental disabilities (NDDs) [http://youtu.be/60Kx4jmU6Is]. The use of the SWAPP in clinical practice has created evidence for revisiting clinical practice guidelines and improving existing policies by highlighting the fundamental need, to recognize and appropriately treat sleep problems in most vulnerable populations. We collaborate with a network of multidisciplinary stakeholders, including non-governmental organizations (representing patients) and recently with decision makers to ensure rapid and sustainable implementation and policy change.

Objectives of our research: Further development of the SWAPP and associated database. We are particularly interested in medication strategies, captured by the medication module for monitoring psychotropic drug prescriptions and behavioural / neurologic adverse drug reactions. A free downloadable smart-phone version of our SWAPP for caregivers and practitioners to (self-)assess / recognize the concept of challenging sleep / wake behaviours will be ready around fall 2015.

Significance: At the end of the project we will have a series of validated and commercially available SWAPPs with patient driven self-assessment modules for participatory data collection on poorly understood challenging-disruptive sleep/wake behaviours. Patient and community tier input during all stages of development will result in effective implementation of the SWAPPs through knowledge translation activities in collaboration with non-governmental organizations.
