Entropy Analysis of Acoustic Signals Recorded With a Smartphone for Detecting Apneas and Hypopneas: A Comparison With a Commercial System for Home Sleep Apnea Diagnosis

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent disease, but most patients remain undiagnosed and untreated. Here we propose analyzing smartphone audio signals for screening OSA patients at home. Our objectives were to: (1) develop an algorithm for detecting silence events and classifying them into apn...
