InsomniaO’clock - new technology to insomnia detection algorithm

Objetivo temático: Improve health, clinical quality and safety to reduce insomnia burden alleviating long waiting lists and reducing diagnosis costs in public and private hospitals, enhancing diagnostic accuracy and patient care

Área Científica: Sleep and Biological Rhythms

Síntese do Projeto: Insomnia, a widespread and complex sleep disorder, poses challenges for accurate diagnosis due to its reliance on self-reported symptoms and diverse symptom presentations. This complexity, along with comorbidities with other conditions, hampers the identification of biomarkers. Leveraging bioinformatics and machine learning, we have pinpointed blood-based molecular markers differentiating insomnia patients from healthy individuals. The project aims to develop InsomniaO’clock, a highly sensitive and specific algorithm, for insomnia diagnosis and disease subtype assessment.
