Research Article: Sleep Apnea Detection by Tracheal Motion and Sound, and Oximetry via Application of Deep Neural Networks
Introduction:
Sleep apnea (SA) is a chronic condition characterized by repetitive cessations (apnea), or reductions (hypopnea) in breathing resulting in recurrent hypoxia and arousals from sleep. Despite the high prevalence in the general population (approximately %), , SA is underdiagnosed. One reason for this is that standard diagnostic overnight, polysomnography (PSG), is costly, relatively inaccessible and, because it requires an overnight stay in a sleep laboratory, is inconvenient for patients. To address this diagnostic…
