To sleep, or not to sleep – that is the question, for polysomnography

Abstract: As the English dramatist Thomas Dekker wrote, “Sleep is that golden chain that ties health and our bodies together”. One of the most frequently sleep-related disorders (SRD) is obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS). OSAS is a relatively “young” disease and at the same time, one of the most important respiratory conditions discovered in the last 50 years due to its incidence, prevalence, health-related impact on the patient’s life and economic burden [1].

“…The introduction of miniaturised devices means that CRPG is now feasible in the home environment15 16 and the scope to evaluate more ‘efficient ways of diagnosing sleep-disordered breathing’17 18 is paramount. We report lessons learnt from research and clinical experience of home CRPG in 255 children with diverse comorbidities.…”

“…This was also not done in this study. Indeed, nevertheless polysomnography is costly and now obstructive sleep apnoea is often diagnosed with cheaper methods [18]. Questionnaires are becoming more widely used [19].…”

“…Sleep-related disorders such as sleep deprivation [6] and sleep apnea can be studied and diagnosed, and interventions can occur using ubiquitous sensing technologies [1]. Sleep clinics typically use Polysomnography (PSG), a test conducted to study sleep and to diagnose different forms of sleep disorders [4]. To date, PSG is considered as the most accurate method for diagnosing sleep-related problems and considered the gold standard in clinical sleep medicine.…”

“…To date, PSG is considered as the most accurate method for diagnosing sleep-related problems and considered the gold standard in clinical sleep medicine. However, it suffers from the fact that it is expensive, complex, time-consuming, and uncomfortable for the users [4]. In this early work, we aim to model a sleep classification system using an unobtrusive Ballistocardiographic (BCG)-based heart sensor signal collected from Dozee 1 (Fig.…”
