Diagnostics World News | Good sleep patterns impact many aspects of the broader health status of individuals, but the measurement of slumber quality tends to fall at the extremes of either simplistic sleep logs or cumbersome in-patient sleep studies, or polysomnography. A new sleep-staging framework driven by artificial intelligence and an associated Apple Watch app known as BIDSleep is designed to bridge that gap by turning a smartwatch into a sleep-staging device that can distinguish between light, deep, and rapid eye movement sleep.

Diagnostics World | When SpaceX’s Inspiration4 lifted off in 2021, it launched new opportunities for commercial space travel and raised new questions about how a space environment impacts the human body. TrialX believes what we learn about biology in space will not only expand our understanding of extreme environments’ impact on human health but will deepen our understanding of how biomarkers and health data are best gathered and explored at home as well.

Diagnostics World | Increasing use of genetic testing to identify people at risk for various diseases has led to a skyrocketing number of never-before-seen variants with uncertain connections to those health conditions, making them impractical to investigate one by one as they once were. Clever bench scientists therefore began making all possible variants in genes with a suspected link to a disease or a patient's symptoms about 15 years ago, to determine which ones are most likely pathogenic.
