SummaryResearchers developed SleepFM, an AI foundation model trained on 585,000 hours of sleep recordings from 65,000 people that can predict 130 diseases including dementia, heart failure, and stroke years before clinical diagnosis. The model uses multimodal neural networks to learn holistic representations of sleep and substantially outperforms traditional demographic-based risk predictors.6 tweets1 min read
