Contactless camera-based AHI score estimation in SAS patients

Abstract: Sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) is a common sleeprelated breathing disorder characterized by recurring cessations of airflow during sleep. The gold standard for diagnosing SAS is polysomnography (PSG) which requires the patient to spend one or several nights in a sleep clinic. A PSG involves a significant amount of contact-based sensors, which leads to discomfort and deviations in sleep behavior. In this work, a contactless, multispectral camera-based approach for the autonomous detection of events of nocturnal airflow reduction is presented. The detected events are further employed in estimators of sleep diagnostic metrics, such as the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and the SAS stage. The AHI estimation resulted in a Pearson correlation coefficient of r = 0.9993. The SAS stage estimator correctly predicted the SAS stage for all three recruited patients.
