Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of a cost-effective heart rate monitor sensor and Arduino Uno configuration to accurately detect simulated sleep apnea, through the use of the inter-beat interval (R-R interval). Three separate 30[Formula: see text]min heart rate recordings were taken, each with six simulated sleep apnea events ranging from 20 to 40[Formula: see text]s. The results were gathered and processed to identify the simulated sleep apnea events. In each of the recordings, the simulated sleep apnea events were visible and the key characteristics, surrounding the events, could be recognized. The heart rate monitor sensor and Arduino Uno configuration successfully detected the simulated sleep apnea events through the analysis and processing of the hearts R-R interval.
