    The SleepFM model predicts 130 diseases from a single night of sleep data with a C-Index of at least 0.75 for all conditions.

  • 2

    SleepFM was trained on over 585,000 hours of polysomnography data from approximately 65,000 patients across multiple cohorts.

  • 3

    The model demonstrated strong predictive performance for conditions like dementia (C-Index 0.85) and myocardial infarction (C-Index 0.81).

  • 4

    SleepFM outperformed baseline models, achieving significant accuracy improvements in predicting all-cause mortality and neurological conditions.

  • 5

    The model also performed well on standard sleep analysis tasks, achieving competitive scores in sleep staging and sleep apnea classification.
