Monitoring breathing activity and sleep patterns using multimodal non-invasive technologies

Published: 01 July 2015 Publication History

Abstract

The monitoring of sleeping behavioral patterns is of major importance for various reasons such as the detection and treatment of sleep disorders, the assessment of the effect of different medical conditions or medications on the sleep quality, and the assessment of mortality risks associated with sleeping patterns in adults and children. Sleep monitoring by itself is a difficult problem due to both privacy and technical considerations.
The proposed system uses a combination of non-invasive sensors to assess and report sleep patterns and breathing activity: a contact-based pressure mattress and a non-contact 2D image acquisition device. To evaluate our system, we used real data collected in Heracleia Lab's assistive living apartment. Our system uses Machine Learning and Computer Vision techniques to automatically analyze the collected data, recognize sleep patterns and track the breathing behavior. It is non-invasive, as it does not disrupt the user's usual sleeping behavior and it can be used both at the clinic and at home with minimal cost. Going one step beyond, we developed a mobile application for visualizing the analyzed data and monitor the patient's sleep status remotely.
