Abstract

Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder phenomena that occurs when a person’s breathing is interrupted during sleep. The most common diagnostic technique that is used to deal with sleep apnea is polysomnography (PSG) which is done at special sleeping labs. This technique is expensive and uncomfortable. New automated methods have been developed for sleep apnea detection using artificial intelligence algorithms, which are more convenient and comfortable for patients. This chapter proposes a novel scheme based on deep learning for sleep apnea detection and quantification using statistical features of ECG signals. The proposed approach is experimented with three phases: (1) minute-based apnea classification, (2) class identification and minute-by-minute detection for each ECG recording unlike state-of-the-art methods which either identify apnea class or detect its presence at each minute, and (3) comparison of the proposed scheme with the well-known methods that have been proposed in the literature, which may have not used the same features and/or the same dataset. The results obtained show that the newly proposed approach provides significant accuracy improvements compared to state-of-the-art methods. Because of its noninvasive and low-cost nature, this algorithm has the potential for numerous applications in sleep medicine.
