Audio signal analysis in combination with noncontact bio-motion data to successfully monitor snoring [PDF]

2014 36th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2014
This paper proposes a novel algorithm for automatic detection of snoring in sleep by combining non-contact bio-motion data with audio data. The audio data is captured using low end Android Smartphones in a non-clinical environment to mimic a possible user-friendly commercial product for sleep audio monitoring.

Assessment of sleep‐disordered breathing using a non‐contact bio‐motion sensor [PDF]

Journal of Sleep Research, 2012
SummaryObstructive sleep apnoea is a highly prevalent but under‐diagnosed disorder. The gold standard for diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnoea is inpatient polysomnography. This is resource intensive and inconvenient for the patient, and the development of ambulatory diagnostic modalities has been identified as a key research priority.
