34 results about "Hypopnea" patented technology

Hypopnea is overly shallow breathing or an abnormally low respiratory rate. Hypopnea is defined by some to be less severe than apnea (the complete cessation of breathing), while other researchers have discovered hypopnea to have a "similar if not indistinguishable impact" on the negative outcomes of sleep breathing disorders. In sleep clinics, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome or obstructive sleep apnea–hypopnea syndrome is normally diagnosed based on the frequent presence of apneas and/or hypopneas rather than differentiating between the two phenomena. Hypopnea is typically defined by a decreased amount of air movement into the lungs and can cause oxygen levels in the blood to drop. It commonly is due to partial obstruction of the upper airway.

Method and system for enhanced detection and counting of respiratory events using machine learning models

The present invention relates to a system and method for the enhanced detection and quantification of respiratory events, such as apneas and hypopneas, particularly useful in diagnosing and managing sleep-disordered breathing conditions. This system integrates sophisticated machine learning algorithms, specifically one-dimensional convolutional neural networks (1D CNNs), with advanced signal processing techniques to analyze physiological signals. It focuses on the detecting respiratory event with a localized portion of the input segment, a novel approach that increases specificity in event detection. The system segments physiological signals into overlapping segments, each analyzed by the machine learning model to generate a prediction score. A unique aspect of this invention is the application of a dual-threshold mechanism: a ‘Model threshold’ for initial event identification and a ‘Vote threshold’ for confirming events through an aggregate voting process of overlapping segment predictions. This innovative approach ensures high accuracy and reliability in event detection and counting.
