  We spend nearly one-third of our lives asleep, yet sleep disorders often go undiagnosed, despite their strong links to cardiovascular disease, neurological disorders, and depression. A next-generation wearable device developed by researchers could change that. Yayun Du, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at Vanderbilt University, is the lead author of a pioneering […] Read More
