In a new study, researchers from the University of Copenhagen's Department of Computer Science have collaborated with the Danish Center for Sleep Medicine to develop an artificial intelligence algorithm, that can improve diagnoses and treatments of sleep disorders.
Difficulty sleeping, sleep apnea and narcolepsy are among a range of sleep disorders that people suffer from. Today's sleep disorder examination takes a lot of time, the new AI algorithm will be able to do the job in seconds. By saving many hours of work, many more patients can be assessed and diagnosed effectively.

Researchers were able to ensure optimal functionality of AI, by collecting data from a variety of sources. The algorithm will serve to help doctors and researchers around the world to learn more about sleep disorders in the future. The team is working with Danish physicians to get the software and algorithm approved for clinical use.
