BMC’s Yawkey building doors are now closed as an entrance as part of our ongoing efforts to enhance our campus and provide you with the best clinical care.

All patients and visitors on our main campus must enter our hospital via Shapiro, Menino, or Moakley buildings, where they will be greeted by team members at a new centralized check-in desk before continuing to the hospital. We are excited to welcome you and appreciate your patience as we improve our facilities.

Actigraphy


An actigraphy uses a small monitor called an actigraph that you wear like a watch to measures your activity and rest. It measures your sleep cycle and can be used to diagnose circadian rhythm and other sleep disorders. You may have to wear an actigraph for up to two weeks for an accurate picture of your sleep-wake cycles.
