Abstract

BACKGROUND: Early detection of sleep apnea, the health condition where airflow either ceases or decreases episodically during sleep, is crucial to initiate timely interventions and avoid complications. Wearable artificial intelligence (AI), the integration of AI algorithms into wearable devices to collect and analyze data to offer various functionalities and insights, can efficiently detect sleep apnea due to its convenience, accessibility, affordability, objectivity, and real-time monitoring capabilities, thereby addressing the limitations of traditional approaches such as polysomnography.
