Farewell and Gratitude: Professor Jeon Sae-bom Concludes sabbatical at BIMAG. 전새봄 교수님께서 BIMAG에서의 연구년을 마칩니다.

We bid farewell to Professor Jeon Sae-bom as she concludes her sabbatical at BIMAG on February 29th, 2024. Her contributions, spanning both academic and non-academic realms, have been invaluable to us all over the past year. We extend our heartfelt gratitude for her dedication and wish her continued success beyond this chapter. Let’s hope for opportunities to meet and collaborate in the future.

전새봄 교수님께서 24년 2월 29일을 마지막으로 BIMAG에서의 연구년을 마치게 되셨습니다. 약 1년 정도의 기간동안 모든 멤버들에게 있어서 연구적으로나 연구 외적으로 정말 많은 도움을 주셨습니다. 교수님의 노고에 감사드리며 연구년을 마치고도 자주 뵐 수 있기를 기원합니다.

Webpage for sleep disorder test: (Link)

Roughly 60% of adults are reported to experience sleep disorders, yet only about 6% consult with specialized medical professionals. The process of undergoing polysomnography for sleep disorder diagnosis is known to be cumbersome. However, now there’s an easier way to assess sleep disorders without such tests. On December 12th, BIMAG introduced a webpage for sleep disorder screening that eliminates the need for cumbersome tests. Shortly after the website’s launch, hundreds of people accessed the test per minute.

성인의 약 60%가 수면장애를 겪고 있다고 보고되지만, 전문의와 상담 비율은 약 6% 정도에 불과합니다. 수면장애 진단을 위한 다원수면검사는 불편한 것으로 알려져 있습니다. 그러나 이제는 이러한 불편한 검사 없이 수면장애를 간편하게 테스트할 수 있습니다. 12월 12일, BIMAG에서는 불편한 검사 없이 수면장애를 스크리닝할 수 있는 웹페이지를 공개했습니다. 웹사이트가 공개된 직후, 분당 수백명이 사이트에 접속하여 테스트를 받은 것으로 집계되었습니다.

BIMAG’s AI Algorithm for Predicting Sleep Disorder Risk Receives Prestigious Innovation Award from MEDITEK!

We are delighted to announce that our groundbreaking AI algorithm, meticulously designed to forecast the risk of sleep disorders, has received the esteemed Innovation Award from MEDITEK. This accolade not only highlights BIMAG’s exceptional contributions to the healthcare realm but also underscores the algorithm’s potential to usher in a transformative era in our approach to addressing sleep disorders.

The algorithm is the fruit of extensive research conducted by Ha et al., with their paper titled “A Machine Learning-Based Simple Questionnaire for Predicting the Risk of Sleep Disorders” currently pending publication.

Welcome our new member!

Dr. Pan Li (Senior researcher) joined our group on April 16, 2023. 

Dr. Pan Li received his Ph.D. degree in Computational Biology from the University of Leeds and postdoctoral training at Washington University in St Louis (WashU) and the University of California San Diego (UCSD).
