Computer Supported Detection for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Using Electrocardiographic-Acceleration Sensors

Article Preview

Abstract:

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is a sleep-related breathing disorder that is caused by obstruction of the upper airway. In this research, we explore a computer-aided diagnosis system with portable ECG equipment and tri-accelerometer (x, y, and z-axes) that can automatically analyze biosignals and test for OSA. We developed an approach to record ECG signals and abdominal movements induced by breathing by affixing ECG-enabled electrodes onto a triaxial accelerometer. With the two signals simultaneously measured, the apnea data obtained would be more accurate, relative to cases where a single signal is measured. This would be helpful in diagnosing OSA.
