Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is one of the most commonsleep-related breathing disorders. Nearly 1 billion people worldwide suffer from it, causing serious health effects and social burden. However, traditional monitoring systems often fall short in terms of cost and accessibility. In this article, we first propose a deep active learning model to detect OSA events from electrocardiogram (ECG). We then designed and developed a prototype of OSA monitoring system using an ECG sensor and smartphone, in which our OSA detection algorithm is implemented and validated. Experiments show that we achieve accuracy of 92.15% while using 40% of labeled data, significantly reducing the cost of labeling and maximizing the performance. According to detection results and health-related multimedia signals, we provide OSA risk level and medical advice to the users. We believe that the multimedia monitoring system can efficiently help diagnose OSA, which could lead to effective intervention strategies and better sleep care.
