These predictions provide guidance when to take an action such as the issuing of a warning. Real-time decision support systems, frequently designated as flood forecasting and warning systems, are used to organize the complex process of coupling data and models in real-time.

Although the most accurate solution would be an in-depth study in a sleep clinic, it is not a realistic environment for the elderly. The objective is that the patient stays at home, and without changing their daily routines, the clinicians get objective information in order to make a correct diagnosis of the sleep disorders. As a first step towards achieving a home remote monitory system, this work introduces a Body Sensor Network (BSN) to monitor various vital signals as Electrocardiogram (ECG) and Electromyogram (EMG) in order to collect enough information for sleep disorder diagnosis, focusing on the detection of obstructive sleep apnea. This work proposes an algorithm to infer obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) based on power spectral analysis of ECG signals from a single-lead electrocardiogram, demonstrating the feasibility of BSN to detect OSA with around 85% sensitivity.","PeriodicalId":283954,"journal":{"name":"2017 4th Experiment@International Conference (exp.at'17)","volume":"767 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133416800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
