SleepMaMi: A Universal Sleep Foundation Model for Integrating Macro- and Micro-structures

arXiv:2602.07628v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While the shift toward unified foundation models has revolutionized many deep learning domains, sleep medicine remains largely restricted to task-specific models that focus on localized micro-structure features. These approaches often neglect the rich, multi-modal context of Polysomnography (PSG) and fail to capture the global macro-structure of a full night's sleep. To address this, we introduce SleepMaMi , a Sleep Foundation Model engineered to master both hour-long sleep architectures and fine-grained signal morphologies. Our framewo

Why this matters
Why now

The proliferation of foundation models in other domains makes their application to complex, multi-modal biological data like sleep medicine a natural progression, enabled by increasing compute capabilities.

Why it’s important

This development indicates the growing trend of applying general-purpose AI models to specialized scientific and medical fields, potentially yielding breakthroughs where traditional methods have stagnated.

What changes

The shift from task-specific models to a 'universal sleep foundation model' fundamentally changes how sleep disorders might be diagnosed, understood, and treated, moving towards more holistic patient data analysis.
