Sleep apnea is a serious and severely under-diagnosed sleep-related respiration disorder characterized by repeated disrupted breathing events during sleep. It is diagnosed via polysomnography which is an expensive test conducted in a sleep…
The gold standard to assess respiration during sleep is polysomnography; a technique that is burdensome, expensive (both in analysis time and measurement costs), and difficult to repeat. Automation of respiratory analysis can improve test…
The abnormal pause or rate reduction in breathing is known as the sleep-apnea hypopnea syndrome and affects the quality of sleep of an individual. A novel method for the detection of sleep apnea events (pause in breathing) from peripheral…
Sleep apnea is a common chronic sleep-related disorder which is known to be a comorbidity for cerebro- and cardio-vascular disease. Diagnosis of sleep apnea usually requires an overnight polysomnography at the sleep laboratory. In this…
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is frequent and responsible for cardiovascular complications and excessive daytime sleepiness. It is underdiagnosed due to the difficulty to access the gold standard for diagnosis, polysomnography (PSG).…
Sleep apnea (SA) is a chronic sleep-related disorder consisting of repetitive pauses or restrictions in airflow during sleep and is known to be a risk factor for cerebro- and cardiovascular disease. It is generally diagnosed using…
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder caused by abnormal breathing. The severity of OSA can lead to many symptoms such as sudden cardiac death (SCD). Polysomnography (PSG) is a gold standard for OSA diagnosis. It records…
Snoring is extremely common in the general population and when irregular may indicate the presence of obstructive sleep apnea. We analyze the overnight sequence of wave packets --- the snore sound --- recorded during full polysomnography in…
The Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) is one of the most-used parameters from the sleep study that allows assessing both the severity of obstructive sleep apnea and the reliability of new devices and methods. However, in many cases, it is compared…
Physiologically, the thoracic (THO) and abdominal (ABD) movement signals, captured using wearable piezo-electric bands, provide information about various types of apnea, including central sleep apnea (CSA) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).…
Sleep apnea syndrome requires early diagnosis because this syndrome can lead to a variety of health problems. If sleep apnea events can be detected in a noncontact manner using radar, we can then avoid the discomfort caused by the…
This study proposes a novel lightweight neural network model leveraging features extracted from electrocardiogram (ECG) and respiratory signals for early OSA screening. ECG signals are used to generate feature spectrograms to predict sleep…
Internet of Things (IoT) enabled wearable sensors for health monitoring are widely used to reduce the cost of personal healthcare and improve quality of life. The sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome, characterized by the abnormal reduction or…
Radar-based respiratory measurement is a promising tool for the noncontact detection of sleep apnea. Our team has reported that apnea events can be accurately detected using the statistical characteristics of the amplitude of respiratory…
Objective: The aim of this study is to develop an automated classification algorithm for polysomnography (PSG) recordings to detect non-apneic and non-hypopneic arousals. Our particular focus is on detecting the respiratory effort-related…
Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS) is a sleep-related breathing disorder associated with significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. The gold standard for OSAHS diagnosis, polysomnography (PSG), faces challenges in…
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a prevalent condition with significant health consequences, yet many patients remain undiagnosed due to the complexity and cost of over-night polysomnography. Acoustic-based screening provides a scalable…
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a breathing disorder during sleep that affects millions of people worldwide. The diagnosis of OSA often occurs through an overnight polysomnogram (PSG) sleep study that generates a massive amount of…
Study Objectives: To evaluate the agreement between the millimeter-wave radar-based device and polysomnography (PSG) in diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and classification of sleep stage in children. Methods: 281 children, aged 1…
Snoring is one of the most prominent symptoms of Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome (OSAH), a highly prevalent disease that causes repetitive collapse and cessation of the upper airway. Thus, accurate snore sound monitoring and…
