Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is one of the most important sleep disorders. The gold standard diagnosis of OSA is overnight PSG examination that is time-consuming and labor intensive. Overnight ECG signal was developed to examine OSA, with easy implementation and portable equipment. There were various ECG derived features used for OSA identification, in this study, intrinsic mode function (IMF) was developed. IMF is a byproduct of Hilbert-Huang transform. IMF decompose original signal into various sub components, due to its complexity. In this study, some novel IMF derived features were used to examine the OSA duration measured from ECG signal, compared with traditional HRV features.
