The Race to Validate Novel EEG Sleep Metrics Before It’s Too Late

Magdy Younes, MD, FRCP(C), PhD, is opening access to Odds Ratio Product (ORP) and ORP derivatives to accelerate sleep medicine research. Paid for by YRT LimitedBy Sree RoyMagdy Younes, MD, FRCP(C), PhD, has spent decades identifying electroencephalogram (EEG)-derived metrics to better understand the nuances of human sleep. Younes wants to see his life’s work validated in sleep medicine before he dies. Many sleep professionals are already familiar with Odds Ratio Product (ORP), Younes’ flagship metric for measuring sleep depth. Had the focus remained on scoring any type of polysomnogram—particularly type I in-lab studies—there would have been wider clinical traction.
