Abstract
Sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) is the most common sleep disorder which affects human life and health. Many researchers use deep learning methods to automatically learn the features of physiological signals. However, these methods ignore the different effects of multichannel features from various physiological signals. To solve this problem, we propose a multichannel fusion network (MCFN), which learns the multilevel features through a convolution neural network on different respiratory signals and then reconstructs the relationship between feature channels with an attention mechanism. MCFN effectively fuses the multichannel features to improve the SAS detection performance. We conducted experiments on the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) dataset, consisting of 2056 subjects. The experiment results show that our proposed network achieves an overall accuracy of 87.3%, which is better than other SAS detection methods and can better assist sleep experts in diagnosing sleep disorders.
