The Sleep-EVAL Research is a scientific program which was launched in 1990

 

Based on the scarcity of data on Sleep Disorders in the general population, several objectives were set:

Through surveys of  the General Population:

  • To document sleep habits and sleep patterns of the general population

  • To describe the sleep disorders of the general

  •  population in terms of prevalence, co-morbidity

  • To identify the risk factors of sleep disorders, their association with psychiatric and organic diseases

  • To investigate how sleep disorders are identified and treated

  • To evaluate the Public Health consequences of sleep disorders.

 

Through clinical studies:

  • To improve the identification criteria of sleep disorders

  • To improve the evaluation and the diagnosis of sleep disorders

  • To improve the evaluation of treatment.

To fulfill these objectives, a new investigation tool was created.

This tool was named Sleep-EVAL.

It is an expert system, specialized in the field of Sleep Medicine and Psychiatry, able to make diagnoses.

Its knowledge of the main organic diseases and pharmacological drugs provides a multitude of information on the way individuals are identified and treated.

Consequently, it was allowing the identification of the Public Health needs of the general population.
