Prof Maia Angelova of the Aston Digital Futures Institute (ADFI) at Aston University will be talking to us about
Artificial intelligence for pre-screening of Insomnia
Insomnia is increasingly recognised as presenting a significant public health problem and has been associated with increased risk for a diverse range of health-related problems and reduced quality of life. While this condition affects more than one third of the adults in Western countries, it is underdiagnosed as individuals are unaware that their sleep is unhealthy. This justifies a pre-screening system for stratifying the risk of insomnia, however such a system does not exist yet.
In this talk, Maia will consider the potential of AI to classify acute and chronic insomnia from healthy sleep through the use of wearable data.
