BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder, usually diagnosed using an expensive, highly specialized, and inconvenient test called polysomnography. A single SpO2 sensor based on an automated classification system can be develope...
BACKGROUND: Approximately 500,000 children undergo tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy (T&A) annually for treatment of obstructive sleep disordered breathing (oSDB). Although polysomnography is beneficial for preoperative risk stratification in these chi...

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 t...
Sleep apnea is a sleep related disorder that significantly affects the population. Polysomnography, the gold standard, is expensive, inaccessible, uncomfortable and an expert technician is needed to score. Numerous researchers have proposed and imple...
OBJECTIVE: Currently, the automatic sleep staging methods mainly face two problems: the first problem is that although the algorithms which use electroencephalogram (EEG) signals perform well, acquiring EEG signals is complicated and uncomfortable; t...
The severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is classified using apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). Accurate determination of AHI currently requires manual analysis and complicated registration setup making it expensive and labor intensive. Partially for t...
