Abstract
The number of people who are suffering from chronic sleep disorder has been growing dramatically in modern era. In order to diagonse the sleep disorder, sleep doctors perform polysomnography: Patients sleep with attaching several vital sign sensors on their body, and doctors monitor the patients in order to find the exact reason of the sleep disorder. Typical polysmonography makes patients sleep with several sensors on their bodies, which prevents the patients from making a comfortable sleep. Furthermore, it is impossible to have a long-term monitoring since the measurements should be done in sleep hosiptal within a few hours. In order to tackle these problems in the typical polysomnography, we envision the development of a non-contact long-term home polysomnography system using UWB radar and related technologies such as multi-modal signal processing.
