His team’s innovations have powered more than 100 scientific publications and led to the first-ever government-reimbursed digital sleep intervention in Germany. A passionate advocate for using sleep to prevent chronic conditions like heart disease, dementia, and diabetes, Colin connects the dots between science, technology, and real health impact.
Sleep threads through cardiovascular function, metabolism, immune activity, and mental health. It happens nightly, which means it can produce a steady flow of information that, measured well, could tell us a lot about near-term changes and long-range risk.
