Abstract

Sleep apnea (SA) in the form of Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is becoming the most common respiratory disorder during sleep, which is characterized by cessations of airflow to the lungs. These cessations in breathing must last more than 10 seconds to be considered an apnea event. Apnea events may occur 5 to 30 times an hour and may occur up to four hundred times per night in those with severe SA [1]. Nowadays, polysomnography (PSG) is a standard testing procedure to diagnose OSA which includes the monitoring of the breath airflow, respiratory movement, and oxygen saturation (SpO2), body position, electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG), electrooculography (EOG), and electrocardiography (ECG). Therefore, a final diagnosis decision is obtained by means of medical examination of these recordings [2]. However, new simplified diagnostic methods and continuous screening of OSA is needed in order to have a major benefit of the treatment on OSA outcomes. In this regard, a portable monitoring system is developed to facilitate the self-administered sleep tests in familiar surroundings environment closer to the patients’ normal sleep habits. With only three data channels: tracheal breathing sounds, ECG and SpO2 signals, a patient does not need hospitalization and can be diagnosed and receive feedback at home, which eases follow-up and retesting after treatment.

Abstract

Sleep apnea (SA) is the most commonly known sleeping disorder characterized by pauses of airflow to the lungs and often results in day and night time symptoms such as impaired concentration, depression, memory loss, snoring, nocturnal arousals, sweating and restless sleep. Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), the most common SA, is a result of a collapsed upper respiratory airway, which is majorly undiagnosed due to the inconvenient Polysomnography (PSG)  testing procedure at sleep labs. This paper introduces an automated approach towards identifying sleep apnea. The idea is based on efficient feature extraction of the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal by employing a hybrid of signal processing techniques and classification using a linear-kernel Support Vector Machine (SVM). The optimum set of RR-interval features of the ECG signal yields a high classification accuracy of  97.1% when tested on the Physionet Apnea-ECG recordings. The results provide motivating insights towards future developments of convenient and effective OSA screening setups.
