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…
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…
Detection of desaturations on the pulse oximetry signal is of great importance for the diagnosis of sleep apneas. Using the counting of desaturations, an index can be built to help in the diagnosis of severe cases of obstructive sleep…
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent but inconspicuous disease that seriously jeopardizes the health of human beings. Polysomnography (PSG), the gold standard of detecting OSA, requires multiple specialized sensors for signal…
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).…
Respiratory ailments afflict a wide range of people and manifests itself through conditions like asthma and sleep apnea. Continuous monitoring of chronic respiratory ailments is seldom used outside the intensive care ward due to the large…
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…
Sleep posture analysis is widely used for clinical patient monitoring and sleep studies. Earlier research has revealed that sleep posture highly influences symptoms of diseases such as apnea and pressure ulcers. In this study, we propose a…
In this work, a dense recurrent convolutional neural network (DRCNN) was constructed to detect sleep disorders including arousal, apnea and hypopnea using Polysomnography (PSG) measurement channels provided in the 2018 Physionet challenge…
Detecting obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is essential for diagnosing and managing sleep health. Traditionally, this involves clinical settings with hardly accessible processes. We propose that the automated detection of OSA events is…
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).…
We present an IoT-based intelligent bed sensor system that collects and analyses respiration-associated signals for unobtrusive monitoring in the home, hospitals and care units. A contactless device is used, which contains four load sensors…
With the recent booming of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly deep learning techniques, digital healthcare is one of the prevalent areas that could gain benefits from AI-enabled functionality. This research presents a novel…
Dramatic raising of Deep Learning (DL) approach and its capability in biomedical applications lead us to explore the advantages of using DL for sleep Apnea-Hypopnea severity classification. To reduce the complexity of clinical diagnosis…
Sleep apnea is a serious sleep-related breathing disorder that is common and can impact health if left untreated. Currently the traditional method for screening and diagnosis is overnight polysomnography. Polysomnography is expensive and…
Sleep stage classification is crucial for diagnosing and managing disorders such as sleep apnea and insomnia. Conventional clinical methods like polysomnography are costly and impractical for long-term home use. We present an…
Sleep is among the most important factors affecting one's daily performance, well-being, and life quality. Nevertheless, it became possible to measure it in daily life in an unobtrusive manner with wearable devices. Rather than camera…
The Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile technology have significantly transformed healthcare by enabling real-time monitoring and diagnosis of patients. Recognizing medical-related human activities (MRHA) is pivotal for healthcare systems,…
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent sleep disorder that is associated with increased risks of cardiovascular morbidity and all-cause mortality. While existing diagnostic approaches can roughly classify OSA severity or detect…
