MobileNetV2: A lightweight classification model for home-based sleep apnea screening [PDF]
This study proposes a novel lightweight neural network model leveraging features extracted from electrocardiogram (ECG) and respiratory signals for early OSA screening. ECG signals are used to generate feature spectrograms to predict sleep stages, while respiratory signals are employed to detect sleep-related breathing abnormalities.

What Radio Waves Tell Us about Sleep [PDF]
The ability to assess sleep at home, capture sleep stages, and detect the occurrence of apnea (without on-body sensors) simply by analyzing the radio waves bouncing off people's bodies while they sleep is quite powerful. Such a capability would allow for longitudinal data collection in patients' homes, informing our understanding of sleep and its ...

Evaluation of human obstructive sleep apnea using computational fluid dynamics. [PDF]
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity might be correlated to the flow characteristics of the upper airways. We aimed to investigate the severity of OSA based on 3D models constructed from CT scans coupled with computational fluid dynamics (CFD ...

Accurate Radar-Based Detection of Sleep Apnea Using Overlapping Time-Interval Averaging [PDF]
Radar-based respiratory measurement is a promising tool for the noncontact detection of sleep apnea. Our team has reported that apnea events can be accurately detected using the statistical characteristics of the amplitude of respiratory displacement. However, apnea and hypopnea events are often followed by irregular breathing, reducing the detection ...

Continuous Sleep Depth Index Annotation with Deep Learning Yields Novel Digital Biomarkers for Sleep Health [PDF]
Traditional sleep staging categorizes sleep and wakefulness into five coarse-grained classes, overlooking subtle variations within each stage. It provides limited information about the duration of arousal and may hinder research on sleep fragmentation and relevant sleep disorders.

Multimodal Sleep Stage and Sleep Apnea Classification Using Vision Transformer: A Multitask Explainable Learning Approach [PDF]
Sleep is an essential component of human physiology, contributing significantly to overall health and quality of life. Accurate sleep staging and disorder detection are crucial for assessing sleep quality. Studies in the literature have proposed PSG-based approaches and machine-learning methods utilizing single-modality signals.

Multimodal Sleep Apnea Detection with Missing or Noisy Modalities [PDF]
Polysomnography (PSG) is a type of sleep study that records multimodal physiological signals and is widely used for purposes such as sleep staging and respiratory event detection. Conventional machine learning methods assume that each sleep study is associated with a fixed set of observed modalities and that all modalities are available for each sample.
