Techniques for Apnoea Detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sleep apnoea is the most common form of different types of sleep-related breathing disorders. It is characterized by repetitive stoppage of respiratory flow during sleep. This paper discusses an approach towards identifying the presence of sleep apnoea based on the acoustic signal of respiration. Different techniques for apnoea detection are discussed in this paper. The characterization of breathing sound can be carried by Voice Activity Detection (VAD) algorithm, which is used to measure the energy of the acoustic respiratory signal during breath and

Severe Apnoea Detection using Speaker Recognition Techniques
The aim of this paper is to study new possibilities of using Automatic Speaker Recognition techniques (ASR) for detection of patients with severe obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Early detection of severe apnoea cases can be very useful to give priority to their early treatment optimizing the expensive and timeconsuming tests of current diagnosis methods based on full overnight sleep in a hospit...

متن کاملA pilot study of a wearable apnoea detection device
RATIONALE Current techniques for monitoring patients for apnoea suffer from significant limitations. These include insufficient availability to meet diagnostic needs, cost, accuracy of results in the presence of artefacts and difficulty of use in unsupervised conditions. OBJECTIVES We created and clinically tested a novel miniature medical device that targets overcoming these limitations. M...
متن کاملMultimodal detection of sleep apnoea using electrocardiogram and oximetry signals.
A method for the detection of sleep apnoea, suitable for use in the home environment, is presented. The method automatically analyses night-time electrocardiogram (ECG) and oximetry recordings and identifies periods of normal and sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). The SDB is classified into one of six classes: obstructive, mixed and central apnoeas, and obstructive, mixed and central hypopnoeas....
