Identification of sleep apnea events using discrete wavelet transform of respiration, ECG and accelerometer signals [PDF]
, 2013 Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder in which patient sleep patterns are disrupted due to recurrent pauses in breathing or by instances of abnormally low breathing. Current gold standard tests for the detection of apnea events are costly and have the
