Sleep apnea is a breathing disorder where a person repeatedly stops breathing in sleep. Early detection is crucial for infants because it might bring long term adversities. The existing accurate detection mechanism (pulse oximetry) is a…

Patients suffering from obstructive sleep apnea are mainly treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Good compliance with this therapy is broadly accepted as more than 4h of CPAP average use nightly. Although it is a highly…

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 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…

Obstructive sleep apnea is a serious condition causing a litany of health problems especially in the pediatric population. However, this chronic condition can be treated if diagnosis is possible. The gold standard for diagnosis is an…

The Covid-19 pandemic has strained the hospital systems in many countries in the world, especially in developing countries. In many low-resource hospitals, severely ill hypoxemic Covid-19 patients are treated with various forms of low-flow…

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…

Sleep Apnea Syndrome (SAS) is defined as a partial or total closure of the patient upper airways during sleep. The term "collapsus" (or collapse) is used to describe this closure. From a fluid mechanical point of view, this collapse can be…

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…

Apnea is a common sleep disorder characterized by breathing interruptions lasting at least ten seconds and occurring more than five times per hour. Accurate, high-temporal-resolution detection of sleep apnea subtypes - Obstructive, Central,…

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…

We present a semi-automated system for sizing nasal Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) masks based upon a neural network model that was trained with facial photographs of both PAP mask users and non-users. It demonstrated an accuracy of 72% in…

Sleep apnea, a prevalent sleep disorder, involves repeated episodes of breathing interruptions during sleep, leading to various health complications, including cognitive impairments, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and even…

Sleep apnea is the most common sleep disturbance and it is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disorders. Its detection relies on a polysomnography, a combination of diverse exams. In order to detect changes due to sleep…

We present a fully automated system for sizing nasal Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) masks. The system is comprised of a mix of HOG object detectors as well as multiple convolutional neural network stages for facial landmark detection. The…

Respiratory diseases impose a significant burden on global health, with current diagnostic and management practices primarily reliant on specialist clinical testing. This work aims to develop machine learning-based algorithms to facilitate…

Objective: Sleep related respiratory abnormalities are typically detected using polysomnography. There is a need in general medicine and critical care for a more convenient method to automatically detect sleep apnea from a simple,…

Wearing a mask is a strong protection against the COVID-19 pandemic, even though the vaccine has been successfully developed and is widely available. However, many people wear them incorrectly. This observation prompts us to devise an…

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is one of the most widespread respiratory diseases today. Complete or relative breathing cessations due to upper airway subsidence during sleep is OSA. It has confirmed potential influence on Covid-19…

Face masks provide effective, easy-to-use, and low-cost protection against airborne pathogens or infectious agents, including SARS-CoV-2. There is a wide variety of face masks available on the market for various applications, but they are…
