A multisensor detector of a sleep apnea for using at home

Diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea usually involves polysomnographic analysis, which unfortunately requires overnight stay in a specialized clinic and is very uncomfortable for a patient. This paper describes the method and apparatus for recording a set of signals to detect sleep apnea. The device records the following signals simultaneously: three-channel ECG, respiratory functions, signals from the accelerometer, and snoring sounds. Measurements are carried out during the night, in the patient's home. Algorithm for automatic analysis of the data can be used to detect sleep apnea and hypopnea.
