15 Apr Artificial Intelligence and Sleep: How New Technology Can Predict Health Issues
Quality sleep is fundamental for good health and mental well-being. According to new research from Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Artificial Intelligence (AI) can detect sleep-related issues that may be connected to brain health — even before the first symptoms appear.
How does AI work in sleep monitoring?
The team of scientists used data from complex sleep studies (polysomnography) to “train” an AI system to recognize details that often go unnoticed by human observation. The system was able to detect sleep patterns linked to mild cognitive impairment and early signs of dementia, with significantly greater accuracy than traditional methods.
What makes AI different from traditional methods?
Typical sleep tests focus mainly on the duration and stages of sleep. However, AI can analyze thousands of signals at once and identify patterns that indicate changes in brain function.
In simple terms:
- AI sees what the human eye can’t.
- It identifies early risks for cognitive disorders.
- It enables earlier diagnosis and intervention.
Why is this important?
Sleep quality doesn’t just affect how we feel the next morning. It directly impacts memory, concentration, mental health, and overall brain function.
Artificial intelligence gives us a powerful new tool to monitor and protect our health through sleep. And the best part? In the near future, such technology may become widely accessible across the globe.
