Sleep apnea is considered one of the most critical problems of human health, and it is also considered one of the most important bio-signals in the area of medicine. In this paper, we propose the approach to detection and classification of respiratory status based on cross correlation between normal respiration and apnea, and on the characteristics of respiratory signals. The characteristics of the signals are extracted by analyzing frequency analysis. The proposed method is simple and straightforward so that it can be workable in practice. To substantiate the proposed algorithm, the experimental results are provided.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
