ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for diagnosing sleep apnea only uses an electrocardiogram signal and a computer processor and associated computer code that are configured to analyze the electrocardiogram signal and classify each time period of the electrocardiogram signal as either apneic or normal. A diagnostic measure of sleep apnea for the human patient is provided based on classification results obtained by combining a results for various electrocardiogram signal time periods. A computer-readable medium has computer code that causes the computer to analyze an electrocardiogram signal relating to the human patient and classify each time period in a set of time periods as either apneic or normal. A diagnostic measure of sleep apnea is provided based on classification results obtained by combining a plurality of results from the set of time periods using either time or frequency domain processing, or both.
