Abstract
OBJECTIVE At-home sleep staging using wearable medical sensors poses a viable alternative to in-hospital polysomnography due to its lower cost and lower disruption to the daily lives of patients, especially in the case of long-term monitoring. Machine learning with wearables however is difficult due to the paucity of data from wearable sensors, making automation a challenge. Transfer learning from hospital polysomnograms can boost performance, but is still hindered by differences between wearable and in-hospital EEG resulting in part from differing electrode placement. We improve transfer learning performance by using electrophysiological models of a human head to generate synthetic EEG resembling EEG from a wearable sensor. METHODS The data generation method utilizes Low-Resolution Electromagnetic Tomography Analysis (LORETA). Real EEG from standard in- hospital recordings is first mapped to point currents within the brain using LORETA, after which the point currents are used to estimate EEG that would have been recorded using a wearable sensor at any given point on the head. RESULTS Augmenting source datasets with synthetic data statistically significantly boosted accuracy on a wearable sleep staging task from 80.8% to 81.3% on average, depending on the transfer learning parameters and data sources. CONCLUSION Machine learning performance can be improved using data synthesized using physical models. SIGNIFICANCE Our approach represents a new form of transfer learning and demonstrates that incorporating domain knowledge of electrophysiological modeling can improve machine learning results for sleep staging tasks. We expect this approach to be particularly useful for EEG data which is hard to collect, or which is obtained using unusual electrode configurations.

Abstract
Novel sensor solutions for sleep monitoring at home could alleviate bottlenecks in sleep medical care as well as enable selective or continuous observation over long periods of time and contribute to new insights in sleep medicine and beyond. Since especially in the latter case the sensor data differ strongly in signal, number and extent of sensors from the classical polysomnography (PSG) sensor technology, an automatic evaluation is essential for the application. However, the training of an automatic algorithm is complicated by the fact that the development phase of the new sensor technology, extensive comparative measurements with standardized reference systems, is often not possible and therefore only small datasets are available. In order to circumvent high system-specific training data requirements, we employ pre-training on large datasets with finetuning on small datasets of new sensor technology to enable automatic sleep phase detection for small test series. By pre-training on publicly available PSG datasets and finetuning on 12 nights recorded with new sensor technology based on a pre-gelled electrode grid to capture electroencephalography (EEG), electrooculography (EOG) and electromyography (EMG), an F1 score across all sleep phases of 0.81 is achieved (wake 0.84, N1 0.62, N2 0.81, N3 0.87, REM 0.88), using only EEG and EOG. The analysis additionally considers the spatial distribution of the channels and an approach to approximate classical electrode positions based on specific linear combinations of the new sensor grid channels.

SLEEP ADVANCES : A JOURNAL OF THE SLEEP RESEARCH SOCIETY 2024; 5:zpae022.

Abstract
Sleep-wake scoring is a time-consuming, tedious but essential component of clinical and preclinical sleep research. Sleep scoring is even more laborious and challenging in rodents due to the smaller EEG amplitude differences between states and the rapid state transitions which necessitate scoring in shorter epochs. Although many automated rodent sleep scoring methods exist, they do not perform as well when scoring new datasets, especially those which involve changes in the EEG/EMG profile. Thus, manual scoring by expert scorers remains the gold standard. Here we take a different approach to this problem by using a neural network to accelerate the scoring of expert scorers. Sleep-Deep-Learner creates a bespoke deep convolution neural network model for individual electroencephalographic or local-field-potential (LFP) records via transfer learning of GoogLeNet, by learning from a small subset of manual scores of each EEG/LFP record as provided by the end-user. Sleep-Deep-Learner then automates scoring of the remainder of the EEG/LFP record. A novel REM sleep scoring correction procedure further enhanced accuracy. Sleep-Deep-Learner reliably scores EEG and LFP data and retains sleep-wake architecture in wild-type mice, in sleep induced by the hypnotic zolpidem, in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease and in a genetic knock-down study, when compared to manual scoring. Sleep-Deep-Learner reduced manual scoring time to 1/12. Since Sleep-Deep-Learner uses transfer learning on each independent recording, it is not biased by previously scored existing datasets. Thus, we find Sleep-Deep-Learner performs well when used on signals altered by a drug, disease model, or genetic modification.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, researchers have attempted to simplify and accelerate the process of sleep stage classification through various approaches; however, only a few such approaches have gained widespread acceptance. Artificial intelligence technology, particularly deep learning, is promising for earning the trust of the sleep medicine community in automated sleep-staging systems, thus facilitating its application in clinical practice and integration into daily life. We aimed to comprehensively review the latest methods that are applying deep learning for enhancing sleep staging efficiency and accuracy. Starting from the requisite "data" for constructing deep learning algorithms, we elucidated the current landscape of this domain and summarized the fundamental modeling process, encompassing signal selection, data pre-processing, model architecture, classification tasks, and performance metrics. Furthermore, we reviewed the applications of automated sleep staging in scenarios such as sleep-disorder screening, diagnostic procedures, and health monitoring and management. Finally, we conducted an in-depth analysis and discussion of the challenges and future in intelligent sleep staging, particularly focusing on large-scale sleep datasets, interdisciplinary collaborations, and human-computer interactions.

Abstract
Machine learning and digital health sensing data have led to numerous research achievements aimed at improving digital health technology. However, using machine learning in digital health poses challenges related to data availability, such as incomplete, unstructured, and fragmented data, as well as issues related to data privacy, security, and data format standardization. Furthermore, there is a risk of bias and discrimination in machine learning models. Thus, developing an accurate prediction model from scratch can be an expensive and complicated task that often requires extensive experiments and complex computations. Transfer learning methods have emerged as a feasible solution to address these issues by transferring knowledge from a previously trained task to develop high-performance prediction models for a new task. This survey paper provides a comprehensive study of the effectiveness of transfer learning for digital health applications to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of diagnoses and prognoses, as well as to improve healthcare services. The first part of this survey paper presents and discusses the most common digital health sensing technologies as valuable data resources for machine learning applications, including transfer learning. The second part discusses the meaning of transfer learning, clarifying the categories and types of knowledge transfer. It also explains transfer learning methods and strategies, and their role in addressing the challenges in developing accurate machine learning models, specifically on digital health sensing data. These methods include feature extraction, fine-tuning, domain adaptation, multitask learning, federated learning, and few-/single-/zero-shot learning. This survey paper highlights the key features of each transfer learning method and strategy, and discusses the limitations and challenges of using transfer learning for digital health applications. Overall, this paper is a comprehensive survey of transfer learning methods on digital health sensing data which aims to inspire researchers to gain knowledge of transfer learning approaches and their applications in digital health, enhance the current transfer learning approaches in digital health, develop new transfer learning strategies to overcome the current limitations, and apply them to a variety of digital health technologies.
