    Cathy Goldstein, M.D. is a professor of Neurology at the University of Michigan Sleep Disorders Center and faculty lead of the Eisenberg Family Depression Center Mobile Technologies core and the UM Mobile Technology Research Innovation Collaborative (MeTRIC).

    Dr. Goldstein's research uses consumer facing sleep tracking devices and mathematical modeling to assess sleep patterns and circadian rhythms in the ambulatory, day-to-day setting to determine their role in health and disease (including in women’s reproductive health, multiple sclerosis, and gastrointestinal conditions). Her international expertise in sleep tracking technology is highlighted by her role as one of the lead authors of the ‘State of the Science and Recommendations for Using Wearable Technology in Sleep and Circadian Research’ from the Sleep Research Society (SRS) and as a member of the task force for Consumer Sleep Tracker Guidelines by the World Sleep Society (WSS).

    She serves the sleep community as one of the senior editors of the sleep field’s sentinel text, Principles and Practice of Sleep Medicine, and additionally, holds editorial roles for UpToDate and the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine. She was previously the chair of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM)’s Artificial Intelligence in Sleep Medicine Committee and speaks internationally in this area.

    Dr Goldstein educates a variety of learners including training physicians, peer groups, University of Michigan athletes (and athletic staff), and the public via numerous media outlets (CNN, New York Times, Time) and podcasts.

    In her work at the U-M Sleep Disorders Center, she cares for patients with various conditions such as obstructive sleep apnea, insomnia, restless legs syndrome, and circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders, as well as participating in the training of future sleep physicians. She is the sleep department’s physician champion for virtual care and Epic, and the billing and compliance officer for Neurology.
