Classifying obstructive sleep apnea using smartphones

AbstractObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a serious sleep disorder which is characterized by frequent obstruction of the upper airway, often resulting in oxygen desaturation. The serious negative impact of OSA on human health makes monitoring and diagnosing it a necessity. Currently, polysomnography is considered the gold standard for diagnosing OSA, which requires an expensive attended overnight stay at a hospital with considerable wiring between the human body and the system. In this paper, we implement a reliable, comfortable, inexpensive, and easily available portable device that allows users to apply the OSA test at home without the need for attended overnight tests. The design takes advantage of a smatrphone’s built-in sensors, pervasiveness, computational capabilities, and user-friendly interface to screen OSA. We use three main sensors to extract physiological signals from patients which are (1) an oximeter to measure the oxygen level, (2) a microphone to record the respiratory effort, and (3) an accelerometer to detect the body’s movement. Finally, we examine our system’s ability to screen the disease as compared to the gold standard by testing it on 15 samples. The results showed that 100% of patients were correctly identified as having the disease, and 85.7% of patients were correctly identified as not having the disease. These preliminary results demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed system when compared to the gold standard and emphasize the important role of smartphones in healthcare

Early diagnosis of sleep related breathing disorders

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) being the most frequent sleep related breathing disorder results in non-restorative sleep, an increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality as well as an elevated number of accidents. In Germany at least two million people have to be expected. If obstructive sleep apnea is diagnosed early enough then sleep may regain its restorative function, daytime performance may be improved and accident risk as well as cardiovascular risk may be normalised. This review critically evaluates anamnestic parameters, questionnaires, clinical findings and unattended recordings during sleep regarding their diagnostic accurracy in recognising OSA

A survey on sleep assessment methods

[EN] Purpose. A literature review is presented that aims to summarize and compare curren methods to evaluate sleep. Methods. Current sleep assessment methods have been classified according to different. criteria; e.g., objective (polysomnography actigraphy) vs.subjective (sleep questionnaires, diaries...), contact vs. contactless devices, and need for medical assistance vs. self-assessment. A comparison of validation studies is carried out for each method, identifying their sensitivity and specificity reported in the literature. Finally, the state of the market has also been reviewed with respect to customers' opinions about current sleep apps. Results. A taxonomy that classifies the sleep, detection methods. IA deseriPtion of each method that includes the tendencies of their underlying technologies lanalyzed in accordance with the literature. A comparison in terms, of precision of existing validation studies and reports. Discussion. In order of accuracy, sleep detection methods may be arranged as follows: Questionnaire < Sleep diary < Contactless devices < Contact devices < Polysotnnography A literature review suggests that current subjective methods present a sensitivity between 73% and 97.7%, while their specificity ranges in the interval 50%-96%. Objective methods such as actigraphy present a sensibility higher than 90%. However, their specificity is low compared to their sensitivity, being one of the limitations of such technology. Moreover, there are other factors, such as the Patients Perception of her or his sleep, that can be provided only by subjective methods. Therefore, sleep detection methods should be combined to produce a synergy between objective and subjective methods. The review of the market indicates the most valued sleep apps, but it also identifies problems and gaps, e.g., many hardware devices have not been validated and (especially software apps) should be studied before their clinical use.Ibáñez, V.; Silva, J.; Cauli, O.

Sleep Breath

PurposeDiagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea by the gold-standard of polysomnography (PSG), or by home sleep testing (HST), requires numerous physical connections to the patient which may restrict use of these tools for early screening. We hypothesized that normal and disturbed breathing may be detected by a consumer smartphone without physical connections to the patient using novel algorithms to analyze ambient sound.MethodsWe studied 91 patients undergoing clinically indicated PSG. Phase I: In a derivation cohort (n = 32), we placed an unmodified Samsung Galaxy S5 without external microphone near the bed to record ambient sounds. We analyzed 12,352 discrete breath/non-breath sounds (386/patient), from which we developed algorithms to remove noise, and detect breaths as envelopes of spectral peaks. Phase II: In a distinct validation cohort (n = 59), we tested the ability of acoustic algorithms to detect AHI 15 on PSG.ResultsSmartphone-recorded sound analyses detected the presence, absence, and types of breath sound. Phase I: In the derivation cohort, spectral analysis identified breaths and apneas with a c-statistic of 0.91, and loud obstruction sounds with c-statistic of 0.95 on receiver operating characteristic analyses, relative to adjudicated events. Phase II: In the validation cohort, automated acoustic analysis provided a c-statistic of 0.87 compared to whole-night PSG.ConclusionsAmbient sounds recorded from a smartphone during sleep can identify apnea and abnormal breathing verified on PSG. Future studies should determine if this approach may facilitate early screening of SDB to identify at-risk patients for definitive diagnosis and therapy.Clinical trialsNCT03288376; clinicaltrials.orgR43 DP006418/DP/NCCDPHP CDC HHS/United States2019-05-24T00:00:00Z30022325PMC65341346307vault:3223

수면 호흡음을 이용한 폐쇄성 수면 무호흡 중증도 분류

학위논문 (박사)-- 서울대학교 융합과학기술대학원 융합과학부, 2017. 8. 이교구.Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder. The symptom has a high prevalence and increases mortality as a risk factor for hypertension and stroke. Sleep disorders occur during sleep, making it difficult for patients to self-perceive themselves, and the actual diagnosis rate is low. Despite the existence of a standard sleep study called a polysomnography (PSG), it is difficult to diagnose the sleep disorders due to complicated test procedures and high medical cost burdens. Therefore, there is an increasing demand for an effective and rational screening test that can determine whether or not to undergo a PSG. In this thesis, we conducted three studies to classify the snoring sounds and OSA severity using only breathing sounds during sleep without additional biosensors. We first identified the classification possibility of snoring sounds related to sleep disorders using the features based on the cyclostationary analysis. Then, we classified the patients OSA severity with the features extracted using temporal and cyclostationary analysis from long-term sleep breathing sounds. Finally, the partial sleep sound extraction, and feature learning process using a convolutional neural network (CNN, or ConvNet) were applied to improve the efficiency and performance of previous snoring sound and OSA severity classification tasks. The sleep breathing sound analysis method using a CNN showed superior classification accuracy of more than 80% (average area under curve > 0.8) in multiclass snoring sounds and OSA severity classification tasks. The proposed analysis and classification method is expected to be used as a screening tool for improving the efficiency of PSG in the future customized healthcare service.Chapter 1.

Recently, mHealth tools are being proposed to screen OSA patients at home. In this work, we analyzed full-night audio signals recorded with a smartphone microphone. Our objective was to develop an automatic detector to identify silence events (apneas or hypopneas) and compare its performance to a commercial portable system for OSA diagnosis (ApneaLink™, ResMed). To do that, we acquired signals from three subjects with both systems simultaneously. A sleep specialist marked the events on smartphone and ApneaLink signals. The automatic detector we developed, based on the sample entropy, identified silence events similarly than manual annotation. Compared to ApneaLink, it was very sensitive to apneas (detecting 86.2%) and presented an 83.4% positive predictive value, but it missed about half the hypopnea episodes. This suggests that during some hypopneas the flow reduction is not reflected in sound. Nevertheless, our detector accurately recognizes silence events, which can provide valuable respiratory information related to the disease. These preliminary results show that mHealth devices and simple microphones are promising non-invasive tools for personalized sleep disorders management at homePostprint (published version
