Abstract
Sleep apnea is a prevalent chronic disorder posing significant health risks, requiring prompt diagnosis for effective treatment. This study introduces a reliable and efficient method using simultaneous electroencephalography (EEG), electrocardiography (ECG), and nasal airflow signals to distinguish apnea subtypes. The approach involves signal preprocessing with bandpass filtering and applying the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) to create spectrograms for 30-second segments. A convolutional neural network (CNN) classifies normal events, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), central sleep apnea (CSA), and hypopnea. Results show our method achieved 98.01% accuracy, highlighting its potential to enhance personalized care for sleep apnea patients.
期刊介绍:
The primary aims of Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering are to provide a means of communicating the advances being made in the areas of biomechanics and biomedical engineering and to stimulate interest in the continually emerging computer based technologies which are being applied in these multidisciplinary subjects. Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering will also provide a focus for the importance of integrating the disciplines of engineering with medical technology and clinical expertise. Such integration will have a major impact on health care in the future.
