Non-obtrusive monitoring of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome based on ballistocardiography: a preliminary study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) degrades sleep quality and is associated with serious health conditions. Instead of the gold-standard polysomnography requiring complex equipment and expertise, a non-obtrusive device such as ballistocardiography (BCG) is more suitable for home-based continuous monitoring of OSAS, which has shown promising results in previous studies. However, often due to the limited storage and computing resource, also preferred by venders, the high computational cost in many existing BCG-based methods would practically limit the deployment for home monitoring.

Methods

In this preliminary study, we propose an approach for OSAS monitoring using BCG signals. Applying fast change-point detection to first isolate apnea-suspected episodes wou
