BREATHING NEW LIFE INTO DIAGNOSIS: INTELLIGENT SIGNAL ANALYSIS FOR APNEA- HYPOPNEA AND MEDICAL DATA SECURITY
Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is an increasingly significant health concern due to its widespread occurrence, heightened risk factors, and significant mortality rates. To address this issue, researchers have focused on utilizing the blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) signal to analyze the occurrences of apnea or hypoventilation episodes during sleep, resulting in the development of the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). In order to extract relevant information from the SpO2 signals, 35 Time Domain characteristics have been identified and studied.
