Abstract:
Sleep-related breathing disorder (SRBD) is a sleep disease with high incidence and many complications. However, patients are often unaware of their sickness. Therefore, SRBD harms health seriously. At present, home SRBD monitoring equipment is a popular research topic to help people get aware of their health conditions. This article fully compares recent state-of-art research results about home SRBD monitors to clarify the advantages and limitations of various sensing techniques. Furthermore, the direction of future research and commercialization is pointed out. According to the system design, novel home SRBD monitors can be divided into two types: wearable and unconstrained. The two types of monitors have their own advantages and disadvantages. The wearable devices are simple and portable, but they are not comfortable and durable enough. Meanwhile, the unconstrained devices are more unobtrusive and comfortable, but the supporting algorithms are complex to develop. At present, researches are mainly focused on system design and performance evaluation, while high performance algorithm and large-scale clinical trial need further research. This article can help researchers understand state-of-art research progresses on SRBD monitoring quickly and comprehensively and inspire their research and innovation ideas. Additionally, this article also summarizes the existing commercial sleep respiratory monitors, so as to promote the commercialization of novel home SRBD monitors that are still under research.
