This paper presents a body-fixed-sensor-based approach to assess potential sleep apnea
patients. A trial involving 15 patients at a sleep unit was undertaken. Vibration sounds were …

Diagnosis of sleep apnea hypopnoea syndrome (SAHS) depends on the apnea–hypopnea
index determined by the standard in-laboratory overnight polysomnography (PSG). PSG is a …

Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) is a major event in
the natural course of the disease, and is associated with significant mortality and …

In this paper, an accelerometer is used to measure the vibration of the neck and thorax, in
order to detect important signals that can be used in the diagnosis of sleep apnoea. …

The analysis of oxygen desaturations is a basic variable in polysomnographic studies for the
diagnosis of sleep apnea. Several algorithms operating in the time domain already exist for …

Sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) is significantly underdiagnosed and new
screening systems are needed. The analysis of oxygen desaturation has been proposed as a …

In this paper we present a system based on a sensor of acceleration for acquisition and
monitoring of diverse physiological signals, by extracting respiratory, cardiac and snoring …

The aim of this work is to establish some basic methodological aspects that should not be
ignored in the arduous task of the development of telemedical platforms for the efficient control …

The aim of this work is to put forth some basic methodological aspects that are being followed
in the demanding task of the development of a telemedical platform for the efficient control …

There are different tools to estimate the end to end available bandwidth (AB). These tools use
techniques which send pairs of packets to the network and observe changes in dispersion …
