Abstract

Automatic polysomnography analysis can be leveraged to shorten scoring times, reduce associated costs, and ultimately improve the overall diagnosis of sleep disorders. Multiple and diverse strategies have been attempted for implementation of this technology at scale in the routine workflow of sleep centers. The field, however, is complex and presents unsolved challenges in a number of areas. Recent developments in computer science and artificial intelligence are nevertheless closing the gap. Technological advances are also opening new pathways for expanding our current understanding of the domain and its analysis.
