Latest AI and machine learning research in sleep disorders for healthcare professionals.
OBJECTIVE: Currently, manual scoring is the gold standard of leg movement scoring (LMs) and periodic LMs (PLMS) in overnight polysomnography (PSG) studies, which is subject to inter-scorer variability. The objective of this study is to design and validate an end-to-end deep learning system for the automatic scoring of LMs and PLMS in sleep.
Sleep apnea is one of the most common sleep-related breathing disorders. It is diagnosed through an overnight sleep study in a specialized sleep clinic. This setup is expensive and the number of beds and staff are limited, leading to a long waiting time. To enable more patients to be tested, and repeated monitoring for diagnosed patients, portable sleep monitoring devices are being developed. Thes...
