Sleep apnea syndrome diagnosis by analysis of the cardiac interbeat RR time series
- AUTHORS: P.A. Absil, R. Sepulchre, A. Bilge, R. Poirrier
- ABSTRACT:
An automatic tool is proposed to help clinicians in the diagnosis
of sleep apnea syndrome. The method uses an elementary signal
processing of the heart interbeat $RR$ time series, offering
the possibility of screening the pathology on the basis of a
portable and inexpensive device that can be used at the patient's home.
