Surrogate modelling of heartbeat events for improved J-peak detection in BCG using deep learning.

Sleep, or the lack thereof, has far-reaching consequences on many aspects of human physiology, cognitive performance, and emotional wellbeing. To ensure undisturbed sleep monitoring, unobtrusive measurements such as ballistocardiogram (BCG) are essential for sustained, real-world data acquisition. Current analysis of BCG data during sleep remains challenging, mainly due to low signal-to-noise ratio, physical movements, as well as high inter- and intra-individual variability.

A community effort in SARS-CoV-2 drug discovery.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to pose a substantial threat to human lives and is likely to do so for years to come. Despite the availability of vaccines, searching for efficient small-molecule drugs that are widely available, including in low- and middle-income countries, is an ongoing challenge. In this work, we report the results of an open science community effort, the "Billion molecules against COVID-19 challenge", to identify small-molecule inhibitors against SARS-CoV-2 or relevant human receptors.
