人工智能在老年睡眠障碍中的应用

Abstract

Abstract: As the global aging process accelerates, the high prevalence of sleep disorders among the elderly has become a major public health challenge. The traditional diagnosis and treatment model relies on manual consultation and laboratory polysomnography monitoring, which is limited by low efficiency, poor accessibility and high cost. Artificial intelligence,through the fusion of multi-modal data and adaptive algorithms, offers an innovative path for the precision and intelligent transformation of sleep medicine. This review systematically explain the clinical transformation potential and challenges of artificial intelligence in the recognition and diagnosis of sleep disorders in the elderly, intelligent sleep monitoring and safety monitoring, personalized intervention application and other aspects, so as to provide theoretical basis for optimizing sleep health management in the elderly.

Key words: aged, sleep disorders, artificial intelligence, deep learning
