Are multimodal AIs predicting proxies for age and sex in sleep-based cardiovascular risk models?

Sleep·October 8, 2026·PMID 42847891

Why it matters

Sleep-based AI models are increasingly promoted for cardiovascular risk stratification, but if they merely recapitulate age and sex, their clinical value is limited. This paper provides a critical benchmark for cardiologists and sleep specialists evaluating such tools, emphasizing the need to demonstrate improvement over established risk scores before adoption.
