Published in Biomedical Signal Processing and Control in the paper “Multimodal sleep stage classification and label-free abnormality scoring in mid-to-older adults”, the study shows that AI can not only identify sleep stages accurately in older adults but also generate an objective score of sleep abnormality, potentially creating a scalable new way to monitor sleep health and detect sleep disruption over time.
