Analysis of sleep is important in order to detect health issues and try to prevent them. In particular, sleep dysfunctions may be the first signs of cognitive frailties for elderly persons. The polysomnography (PSG) is considered the golden standard to perform a comprehensive sleep analysis, as it is based on several sensors placements. However, for longitudinal study of sleep that is required to prevent frailty for elderly persons, such medical equipment is not suitable since it is very invasive. Recent technological advances in sensors allow to gather data with a good precision with less intrusive equipment. The main objective of this study consists in developing a new algorithmic approach to analyse sleep using data from low intrusive sensors. In this study we focus on sleep phase detection, i.e. wake, Non-Rapid Eye Movement (NREM) and Rapid Eye Movement (REM). We consider the following sources of data: heart beat rate, as well as user data such as gender, age, etc. The problem is considered as a supervised classification machine learning problem. We propose a benchmark of several machine learning algorithms and compare their performances against the medical gold standard, the PSG. To do so, we use a data-set collected from a published clinical trial. Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm globally outperforms all other methods with a 76.5% agreement with the PSG. As a direct perspective of this study, we plan to add other sources of data using custom sensors to improve the performance of the prediction.
In the context of the Internet of Things (IoT) healthcare, biophysical features collected during sleep needs robust analysis methods to be efficiently used to detect sleep disorders. In this paper, analysis methods using a limited number of input variables (cardiac, respiratory, and body movement) have been used to perform the classification of sleep stages. The efficiency of each classification method has been compared to a reference method that combines a large number of biophysical features referred to as PolySomnoGraphy (PSG). Five classical machine learning methods were evaluated by testing their accuracy on the same collected data. Finally, using a neural network with a short memory method, the classification task fitted 91.34% of the PSG classification.Sleep stages, machine learning, supervised classification, sleep architecture, polysomnography 1) Wake stage, characterised by slow muscle activity and slow eye movement. It represents less than 2% of the total sleep duration in standard sleep conditions.
