Sleep apnea is a disease that causes various complications, and the polysomnography is expensive and difficult to measure. The purpose of this study is to develop an unrestricted wearable monitoring system so that patients can be examined in a familiar environment. We used a method to detect sleep apnea events and to determine sleep satisfaction by non-constrained method using SpO2 measurement sensor and 3-axis acceleration sensor. Heart rate and SpO2 were measured at the finger using max30100. After acquiring the SpO2 data of the user in real time, the apnea measurement algorithm was used to transmit the number of apnea events of the user to the mobile phone using Bluetooth (HC-06) on the wrist. Using the three-axis acceleration sensor (mpu6050) attached to the upper body, the number of times of tossing and turning during sleep was measured. Based on this data, this algorithm evaluates the patient's tossing and turning during sleep and transmits the data to the mobile phone via Bluetooth. The power source used 9 volts battery to operate Arduino UNO and sensors for portability and stability, and the data received from each sensor can be used to check the various degree between sleep apnea and sleep tossing and turning on the mobile phone. Through thisstudy, we have developed a wearable sleep apnea measurement system that can be easily used at home for the problem of low sleep efficiency of sleep apnea patients.

In this paper we collect data concerning sleep environments in a bedroom and analyze the relationship between the collected condition data and sleep. In addition, this paper detects scene changes from the subjects in a sleeping state and presents the physical conditions, reactions during sleep, and physical sensations and stimuli. To detect scene changes in image sequences, we used color histogram for the difference between the preceding frame and the current frame. In addition, to extract the tossing and turning for different situations, the subjects were instructed to enter the level of fatigue, the level of drinking, and the level of stomach emptiness.

수면은 인간에게 삼분의 일 정도 잠을 자면서 보낸만큼 매우 중요한 생리 현상이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 수면을 환경을 측정하고 수면의 질 발전 방향을 모색한다. 수면 측정을 위하여 $X^2$ 히스토그램을 이용한 장면 전환 검출 방법을 이용한다. $X^2$ 히스토그램 방법은 통계학적 장면 전환 검출 방법의 하나로서 다른 히스토그램 방법보다 성능이 우수하기 때문에 많은 연구에서 사용된다. 또한 수면의 질 발전을 위하여 피로도, 음주도, 그리고 공복도를 입력하여 각각의 상황에 따른 뒤척임을 추출한다.

Sleep is very important physiology to our human, about one third of human life was sent over to sleep. This paper measures of sleep and proposes sleep quality and future direction in order to improve the sleep environment. Sleep measure was determined by using X2 histogram that is one of the scene change detection method. X2 histogram method is one of the statistical scene change detection and is used in many studies because of the histogram method performs better than the other. And find out their relationship by entering the degree of fatigue, alcohol, and hungry in order to develop quality of sleep and extracting to tossing and turning according to each situation.

For the sleep experiment system, we used the H-MOTE2420 Sensor composed of temperature, humidity, and light sensors. This paper is intended to provide the best sleep environment that enhances sleep quality, thus inducing people today to get regular and comfortable sleep.

In this paper, gather the sleep environment data of bedroom to sleeping and analyze the relationship between the obtained conditional data and the sleep. Based on this, system provide the optimal sleep environment of individual person by extracting the simulation model. The experiments of system was using H-MOTE2420 sensor composed of temperature/humidity sensor and ambient light sensors. We use difference image method in motion extraction from video for extraction of tossing and turning. In addition, it was entered such as ratio of fatigue, ratio of drinking, ratio of empty stomach as the information of weight can affect to sleep. Resultingly of experience, we can extract the optimal sleep environment. From now on, we will try to enhance to help to lead more pleasant daily life providing proper indoor environment changes depending on the situation even a partial of organic living environments such as eating and work as well as special sleep circumstances.

This paper collect sleep environment data of bedroom to sleeping, and analyzing the relationship between conditions with obtained data and sleep. We provide the optimal sleep environment of individual by extracting the simulation model based on it. The experiments was using temperature/humidity sensor(SHT11) and ambient light sensors(GL5507). For extraction of tossing and turning, we use difference image method in motion extraction from video. In addition, the information of weight can affect to sleep, it was entered such as ratio of fatigue, drinking, empty stomach. As a result, we are able to extract the optimal sleep environment. The future, we will try to improve to help to lead more pleasant daily life providing proper indoor environment changes depending on the situation even a partial of organic ubiquitous living environments such as eating, work ete. as well as certain sleep circumstances.

This paper suggests detection system for the movement of patient on bed based on IEEE802.15.4 by using pressure pad and guard sensor. The system is designed to detect ordinary activities of patients on bed as well as patients' falling from the bed while sleeping at night. The node that is installed at bed sends data to gather when the pressure pad and sensor of guard detect patients' activities and falling. These data sent to gather are transmitted to monitor at help desk by TCP/IP communication. To remove unnecessary data that occurred due to switch chattering during tossing and turning, timer of MCU is used. Also, Communication module can change transmission power to apply this system to various environments of hospital room. Therefore, the nurse can take care of patients on bed in real time with data about patients' conditions.

The three major sleep disorders in Korea are snoring, sleep apnea, and insomnia. Lack of sleep is the root of all diseases. Some of the most serious potential problems associated with sleep deprivation are cardiovascular problems, cognitive impairment, obesity, diabetes, colitis, prostate cancer, etc. To solve these problems, the Korean government provided low-cost national health insurance benefits for polysomnography tests in July 2018. However, insomnia patients still have problems getting treated in terms of time, space, and economic perspectives. Therefore, it would be better for insomnia patients to be allowed to test at home. The measuring device can measure six biosignals (eye movement, tossing and turning, body temperature, oxygen saturation, heart rate, and audio). A gyroscope sensor (MPU9250, InvenSense, USA) was used for eye movement, tossing, and turning. The input range of the sensor was in 258°/sec to 460°/sec, and the data range was in the input range. Body temperature, oxygen saturation range, and heart rate were measured by a sensor (MAX30102, Analog Devices, USA). The body temperature was measured in 30 ℃ to 45 ℃, and the oxygen saturation range was 0% for the unused state and 20 % to 90 % for the used state. The heart rate measurement range was in 40 bpm to 180 bpm. The measurement of audio signal was performed by an audio sensor (AMM2742-T-R, PUIaudio, USA). The was -42 dB ±1 dB frequency range was 20 Hz to 20 kHz. The measured data was successfully received in wireless network conditions. The system configuration was consisted of a PC and a mobile app for bio-signal measurement and data collection. The measured data was collected by mobile phones and desktops. The data collected can be used as preliminary data to determine the stage of sleep and perform the screening function for sleep induction and sleep disturbances. In the future, this convenient sleep measurement device could be beneficial for treating insomnia.
