    Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and Sjögren's disease (SjD) report disrupted sleep, fatigue, and decreased physical activity.

  • 2

    The study involved 29 SLE, 29 SjD, and 37 healthy participants using digital measures to assess physical activity, sleep, and breathing patterns.

  • 3

    SLE participants showed lower physical activity, poorer sleep quality, and higher breathing rates compared to healthy participants.

  • 4

    SjD participants exhibited reduced physical activity but did not show significant differences in sleep and breathing compared to controls.

  • 5

    Digital health devices indicate that physical activity is disrupted in SLE and SjD, with sleep and breathing patterns impaired in SLE.
