Connecticut [USA], Mar 2 : Artificial intelligence can improve the precision of sleep medicines, resulting in more patient-centered care and better outcomes, suggest a new study.The position statement of the study was published in the journal - Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine.The position statement was developed by the AASM's Artificial Intelligence in Sleep Medicine Committee.According to the statement, the electrophysiological data collected during polysomnography -- the most comprehensive type of sleep study -- is well-positioned for enhanced analysis through AI and machine-assisted learning."When we typically think of AI in sleep medicine, the obvious use case is for the scoring of sleep and associated events," said the lead researcher Dr Cathy Goldstein."This would streamline the processes of sleep laboratories and free up sleep technologist time for direct patient care," she added.Because of the vast amounts of data collected by sleep centres, AI and machine learning could advance sleep care, resulting in more accurate diagnoses, prediction of disease and treatment prognosis, characterization of disease subtypes, precision in sleep scoring, and optimization and personalization of sleep treatments.Goldstein noted that AI could be used to automate sleep scoring while identifying additional insights from sleep data."AI could allow us to derive more mengful information from sleep studies, given that our current summary metrics, for example, the apnea-hypopnea index, aren't predictive of the health and quality of life outcomes that are important to patients," Dr Cathy Goldstein said."Additionally, AI might help us understand mechsms underlying obstructive sleep apnea, so we can select the right treatment for the right patient at the right time, as opposed to one-size-fits-all or trial and error approaches," she added.Important considerations for the integration of AI into the sleep medicine practice include transparency and disclosure, testing on novel data, and laboratory integration.The statement recommends that manufacturers disclose the intended population and goal of any program used in the evaluation of patients; test programs intended for clinical use on independent data; and aid sleep centres in the evaluation of AI-based software performance."AI tools hold great promise for medicine in general, but there has also been a great deal of hype, exaggerated claims and misinformation," said Goldstein."We want to interface with industry in a way that will foster safe and efficacious use of AI software to benefit our patients. These tools can only benefit patients if used with careful oversight," Goldstein added.( With inputs from ANI )
