This article represents a brief overview and summary of the main ideas, suggestions, agreements, and conclusions reached during a special round-table discussion held on Oct 10, 2019, at the Armenian National Institute of Health, with the participation of representatives from the Armenian Sleep Disorders Association and the Executive Committee of the Assembly of National Sleep Societies (ANSS) of the European Sleep Research Society. As the pilot activity of the ANSS "Beyond Boundaries" project, it aimed to identify the current needs in the field of sleep medicine in Armenia and to summarize the recommendations to help improving the future multidisciplinary development of this important field in Armenia. The article aims to serve as a guiding point for further collaborations regarding sleep medicine in Armenia. Based on the evaluation of this pilot project, the ANSS will further shape and improve the "Beyond Boundaries" project for further implementation in other European countries that wish to develop knowledge and skills in the field of sleep medicine and research and broaden their international network.

Sleep disorders have reached epidemic proportions worldwide, affecting the youth as well as the elderly, crossing the entire lifespan in both developed and developing countries. “Real-life” behavioral (sensor-based), molecular, digital, and epidemiological big data represent a source of an impressive wealth of information that can be exploited in order to advance the field of sleep research. It can be anticipated that big data will have a profound impact, potentially enabling the dissection of differences and oscillations in sleep dynamics and architecture at the individual level (“sleepOMICS”), thus paving the way for a targeted, “one-size-does-not-fit-all” management of sleep disorders (“precision sleep medicine”).
