Abstract
Sleep disorders are prevalent worldwide, affecting millions of individuals and significantly impacting their quality of life. Biomedical engineering plays a crucial role in developing advanced diagnostic tools and therapeutic devices for the treatment of sleep disorders, such as sleep apnea, insomnia, and restless leg syndrome. This article explores the various innovations in biomedical engineering that have contributed to improving the diagnosis, management, and treatment of sleep disorders. The article discusses the role of wearable devices, non-invasive therapies, and sleep monitoring technologies, as well as emerging treatments such as neurostimulation and personalized sleep care. It also addresses the challenges and future directions in the field, focusing on improving the accessibility and effectiveness of treatments for diverse patient populations.
