mHealth: Sleeping Disorders Diagnosis
Abstract
The increasing computing power of mobile electronic devices coupled with advances in sensing and wireless technology have paved the way for mobile health (mHealth) to play a major and innovative role in the health sector. This chapter discusses the use of mHealth in the monitoring and diagnosis of sleep-related diseases with a particular emphasis on sleep apnea since it is considered to be one of the most prevalent disorders. Apnea symptoms and the physiological signals associated with it are described with an overview of the current sensing technology used to capture and record these signals. The chapter continues to discuss the integration of sensors with todays' mobile devices to offer mhealth platforms that allow for the monitoring, diagnosis and management of sleep apnea. We conclude by discussing the current limitations of the mHealth technology and discuss possible future enhancements.
