OBJECTIVE: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is diagnosed using the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), which is the average number of respiratory events per hour of sleep. Recently, machine learning algorithms for automatic AHI assessment have been developed, b...
BACKGROUND: Various deep-learning systems have been proposed for automated sleep staging. Still, the significance of age-specific underrepresentation in training data and the resulting errors in clinically used sleep metrics are unknown.

Sleep staging is an important step in analyzing sleep quality. Traditional manual analysis by psychologists is time-consuming. In this paper, we propose an automatic sleep staging model with an improved attention module and hidden Markov model (HMM)....
Classifying sleep stages in real-time represents considerable potential, for instance in enabling interactive noise masking in noisy environments when persons are in a state of light sleep or to support clinical staff in analyzing sleep patterns etc....
Sleep is one of the most important human physiological activities, and plays an essential role in human health. Polysomnography (PSG) is the gold standard for measuring sleep quality and disorders, but it is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone...
Healthy sleep is essential for the rejuvenation of the body and helps in maintaining good health. Many people suffer from sleep disorders that are characterized by abnormal sleep patterns. Automated assessment of such disorders using biomedical signa...
The detection of sleep apnea is critical for assessing sleep quality. It is also a proven biometric in diagnosing cardiovascular and other diseases. Recent studies have shown that radar-based non-contact vital sign monitoring system can effectively d...
