Rashidi S, Asl BM. Strength of ensemble learning in automatic sleep stages classification using single-channel EEG and ECG signals. Med Biol Eng Comput 2024; 62:997-1015.

Abstract
Healthy sleep plays an essential role in human daily life. Classification of sleep stages is a crucial tool for assisting physicians in diagnosing and treating sleep disorders. In this study, a strong ensemble learning model is proposed to enhance the ability of classification models in accurate sleep staging, particularly in multi-class classification. We asserted that high-accuracy sleep classification is achievable using only single-channel electroencephalogram (EEG) and electrocardiogram (ECG) by combining their best-extractable features in the time and frequency domains we recommended. More importantly, the superiority of the recommended method, which is the simultaneous use of stacking and bagging, over conventional machine learning classifiers in sleep staging was demonstrated, using the MIT-BIH Polysomnographic and Sleep-EDF expanded databases. Finally, K-fold cross-validation was used to fairly estimate these models. The best mean test accuracy rates for distinguishing between two classes of "sleep vs. wake," "rapid vs. non-rapid eye movement," and "deep vs. light sleep," were obtained 99.93%, 99.64%, and 99.69%, respectively. Furthermore, our proposed method achieved accuracies of 97.14%, 95.18%, 92.7%, and 85.64% for separating three, four, five, and six sleep classes, respectively. Compared to recent studies, our method outperforms other sleep stage classification schemes, especially in multi-class staging.

Sleep Med Rev 2024; 74:101897. [PMID: 38306788 DOI: 10.1016/j.smrv.2024.101897] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2023] [Revised: 12/30/2023] [Accepted: 01/04/2024] [Indexed: 02/04/2024]
Abstract
Over the past few decades, researchers have attempted to simplify and accelerate the process of sleep stage classification through various approaches; however, only a few such approaches have gained widespread acceptance. Artificial intelligence technology, particularly deep learning, is promising for earning the trust of the sleep medicine community in automated sleep-staging systems, thus facilitating its application in clinical practice and integration into daily life. We aimed to comprehensively review the latest methods that are applying deep learning for enhancing sleep staging efficiency and accuracy. Starting from the requisite "data" for constructing deep learning algorithms, we elucidated the current landscape of this domain and summarized the fundamental modeling process, encompassing signal selection, data pre-processing, model architecture, classification tasks, and performance metrics. Furthermore, we reviewed the applications of automated sleep staging in scenarios such as sleep-disorder screening, diagnostic procedures, and health monitoring and management. Finally, we conducted an in-depth analysis and discussion of the challenges and future in intelligent sleep staging, particularly focusing on large-scale sleep datasets, interdisciplinary collaborations, and human-computer interactions.

Abstract
Photoplethysmography is a key sensing technology which is used in wearable devices such as smartwatches and fitness trackers. Currently, photoplethysmography sensors are used to monitor physiological parameters including heart rate and heart rhythm, and to track activities like sleep and exercise. Yet, wearable photoplethysmography has potential to provide much more information on health and wellbeing, which could inform clinical decision making. This Roadmap outlines directions for research and development to realise the full potential of wearable photoplethysmography. Experts discuss key topics within the areas of sensor design, signal processing, clinical applications, and research directions. Their perspectives provide valuable guidance to researchers developing wearable photoplethysmography technology.

Deep learning-based sleep stage classification with cardiorespiratory and body movement activities in individuals with suspected sleep disorders. Sci Rep 2023; 13:17730. [PMID: 37853134 PMCID: PMC10584883 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-45020-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2023] [Accepted: 10/14/2023] [Indexed: 10/20/2023] Open
Abstract
Deep learning methods have gained significant attention in sleep science. This study aimed to assess the performance of a deep learning-based sleep stage classification model constructed using fewer physiological parameters derived from cardiorespiratory and body movement data. Overnight polysomnography (PSG) data from 123 participants (age: 19-82 years) with suspected sleep disorders were analyzed. Multivariate time series data, including heart rate, respiratory rate, cardiorespiratory coupling, and body movement frequency, were input into a bidirectional long short-term memory (biLSTM) network model to train and predict five-class sleep stages. The trained model's performance was evaluated using balanced accuracy, Cohen's κ coefficient, and F1 scores on an epoch-per-epoch basis and compared with the ground truth using the leave-one-out cross-validation scheme. The model achieved an accuracy of 71.2 ± 5.8%, Cohen's κ of 0.425 ± 0.115, and an F1 score of 0.650 ± 0.083 across all sleep stages, and all metrics were negatively correlated with the apnea-hypopnea index, as well as age, but positively correlated with sleep efficiency. Moreover, the model performance varied for each sleep stage, with the highest F1 score observed for N2 and the lowest for N3. Regression and Bland-Altman analyses between sleep parameters of interest derived from deep learning and PSG showed substantial correlations (r = 0.33-0.60) with low bias. The findings demonstrate the efficacy of the biLSTM deep learning model in accurately classifying sleep stages and in estimating sleep parameters for sleep structure analysis using a reduced set of physiological parameters. The current model without using EEG information may expand the application of unobtrusive in-home monitoring to clinically assess the prevalence of sleep disorders outside of a sleep laboratory.

Abstract
Introduction: The apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), defined as the number of apneas and hypopneas per hour of sleep, is still used as an important index to assess sleep disordered breathing (SDB) severity, where hypopneas are confirmed by the presence of an oxygen desaturation or an arousal. Ambulatory polygraphy without neurological signals, often referred to as home sleep apnea testing (HSAT), can potentially underestimate the severity of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) as sleep and arousals are not assessed. We aim to improve the diagnostic accuracy of HSATs by extracting surrogate sleep and arousal information derived from autonomic nervous system activity with artificial intelligence. Methods: We used polysomnographic (PSG) recordings from 245 subjects (148 with simultaneously recorded HSATs) to develop and validate a new algorithm to detect autonomic arousals using artificial intelligence. A clinically validated auto-scoring algorithm (Somnolyzer) scored respiratory events, cortical arousals, and sleep stages in PSGs, and provided respiratory events and sleep stages from cardio-respiratory signals in HSATs. In a four-fold cross validation of the newly developed algorithm, we evaluated the accuracy of the estimated arousal index and HSAT-derived surrogates for the AHI. Results: The agreement between the autonomic and cortical arousal index was moderate to good with an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.73. When using thresholds of 5, 15, and 30 to categorize SDB into none, mild, moderate, and severe, the addition of sleep and arousal information significantly improved the classification accuracy from 70.2% (Cohen's κ = 0.58) to 80.4% (κ = 0.72), with a significant reduction of patients where the severity category was underestimated from 18.8% to 7.3%. Discussion: Extracting sleep and arousal information from autonomic nervous system activity can improve the diagnostic accuracy of HSATs by significantly reducing the probability of underestimating SDB severity without compromising specificity.

Abstract
The demand for automatic sleep stage classification using easily obtainable signals like electrocardiograms (ECGs) is rising due to the growing number of sleep disorder cases. Our study examined the potential of using single-channel ECG signals for user-friendly automatic sleep stage classification. Unlike previous studies that relied on manual features such as heart rate and variability, we propose using fully neural network-based features. The proposed model uses a ContextNet-based feature encoder applied to the ECG spectrogram, and a Transformer model to capture the temporal properties of sleep cycles over the course of the night.

Abstract
Sleep staging is the basis for solving sleep problems. There's an upper limit for the classification accuracy of sleep staging models based on single-channel electroencephalogram (EEG) data and features. To address this problem, this paper proposed an automatic sleep staging model that mixes deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) and bi-directional long short-term memory network (BiLSTM). The model used DCNN to automatically learn the time-frequency domain features of EEG signals, and used BiLSTM to extract the temporal features between the data, fully exploiting the feature information contained in the data to improve the accuracy of automatic sleep staging. At the same time, noise reduction techniques and adaptive synthetic sampling were used to reduce the impact of signal noise and unbalanced data sets on model performance. In this paper, experiments were conducted using the Sleep-European Data Format Database Expanded and the Shanghai Mental Health Center Sleep Database, and achieved an overall accuracy rate of 86.9% and 88.9% respectively. When compared with the basic network model, all the experimental results outperformed the basic network, further demonstrating the validity of this paper's model, which can provide a reference for the construction of a home sleep monitoring system based on single-channel EEG signals.

Abstract
Introduction Perinatal women tend to have difficulties with sleep along with autonomic characteristics. This study aimed to identify a machine learning algorithm capable of achieving high accuracy in predicting sleep-wake conditions and differentiating between the wake conditions before and after sleep during pregnancy based on heart rate variability (HRV). Methods Nine HRV indicators (features) and sleep-wake conditions of 154 pregnant women were measured for 1 week, from the 23rd to the 32nd weeks of pregnancy. Ten machine learning and three deep learning methods were applied to predict three types of sleep-wake conditions (wake, shallow sleep, and deep sleep). In addition, the prediction of four conditions, in which the wake conditions before and after sleep were differentiated-shallow sleep, deep sleep, and the two types of wake conditions-was also tested. Results and Discussion In the test for predicting three types of sleep-wake conditions, most of the algorithms, except for Naïve Bayes, showed higher areas under the curve (AUCs; 0.82-0.88) and accuracy (0.78-0.81). The test using four types of sleep-wake conditions with differentiation between the wake conditions before and after sleep also resulted in successful prediction by the gated recurrent unit with the highest AUC (0.86) and accuracy (0.79). Among the nine features, seven made major contributions to predicting sleep-wake conditions. Among the seven features, "the number of interval differences of successive RR intervals greater than 50 ms (NN50)" and "the proportion dividing NN50 by the total number of RR intervals (pNN50)" were useful to predict sleep-wake conditions unique to pregnancy. These findings suggest alterations in the vagal tone system specific to pregnancy.

SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 23:2390. [PMID: 36904595 PMCID: PMC10006886 DOI: 10.3390/s23052390] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2023] [Revised: 02/07/2023] [Accepted: 02/11/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Sleep staging based on polysomnography (PSG) performed by human experts is the de facto "gold standard" for the objective measurement of sleep. PSG and manual sleep staging is, however, personnel-intensive and time-consuming and it is thus impractical to monitor a person's sleep architecture over extended periods. Here, we present a novel, low-cost, automatized, deep learning alternative to PSG sleep staging that provides a reliable epoch-by-epoch four-class sleep staging approach (Wake, Light [N1 + N2], Deep, REM) based solely on inter-beat-interval (IBI) data. Having trained a multi-resolution convolutional neural network (MCNN) on the IBIs of 8898 full-night manually sleep-staged recordings, we tested the MCNN on sleep classification using the IBIs of two low-cost (<EUR 100) consumer wearables: an optical heart rate sensor (VS) and a breast belt (H10), both produced by POLAR®. The overall classification accuracy reached levels comparable to expert inter-rater reliability for both devices (VS: 81%, κ = 0.69; H10: 80.3%, κ = 0.69). In addition, we used the H10 and recorded daily ECG data from 49 participants with sleep complaints over the course of a digital CBT-I-based sleep training program implemented in the App NUKKUAA™. As proof of principle, we classified the IBIs extracted from H10 using the MCNN over the course of the training program and captured sleep-related changes. At the end of the program, participants reported significant improvements in subjective sleep quality and sleep onset latency. Similarly, objective sleep onset latency showed a trend toward improvement. Weekly sleep onset latency, wake time during sleep, and total sleep time also correlated significantly with the subjective reports. The combination of state-of-the-art machine learning with suitable wearables allows continuous and accurate monitoring of sleep in naturalistic settings with profound implications for answering basic and clinical research questions.

Abstract
In clinical conditions, polysomnography (PSG) is regarded as the "golden standard" for detecting sleep disease and offering a reference of objective sleep quality. For healthy adults, scores from sleep questionnaires are more reliable than other methods in obtaining knowledge of subjective sleep quality. In practice, the need to simplify PSG to obtain subjective sleep quality by recording a few channels of physiological signals such as single-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) or photoplethysmography (PPG) signal is still very urgent. This study provided a two-step method to differentiate sleep quality into "good sleep" and "poor sleep" based on the single-lead wearable cardiac cycle data, with the comparison of the subjective sleep questionnaire score. First, heart rate variability (HRV) features and ECG-derived respiration features were extracted to construct a sleep staging model (wakefulness (W), rapid eye movement (REM), light sleep (N1&N2) and deep sleep (N3)) using the multi-classifier fusion method. Then, features extracted from the sleep staging results were used to construct a sleep quality evaluation model, i.e., classifying the sleep quality as good and poor. The accuracy of the sleep staging model, tested on the international public database, was 0.661 and 0.659 in Cardiology Challenge 2018 training database and Sleep Heart Health Study Visit 1 database, respectively. The accuracy of the sleep quality evaluation model was 0.786 for our recording subjects, with an average F1-score of 0.771. The proposed sleep staging model and sleep quality evaluation model only requires one channel of wearable cardiac cycle signal. It is very easy to transplant to portable devices, which facilitates daily sleep health monitoring.

Role of Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in Insomnia Sleep Disorder and Cardiovascular Diseases: Herbal Antioxidants and Anti-inflammatory Coupled with Insomnia Detection using Machine Learning. Curr Pharm Des 2022; 28:3618-3636. [PMID: 36464881 DOI: 10.2174/1381612829666221201161636] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2022] [Revised: 09/20/2022] [Accepted: 10/27/2022] [Indexed: 12/07/2022]
Abstract
Insomnia is well-known as trouble in sleeping and enormously influences human life due to the shortage of sleep. Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) accrue in neurons during the waking state, and sleep has a defensive role against oxidative damage and dissipates ROS in the brain. In contrast, insomnia is the source of inequity between ROS generation and removal by an endogenous antioxidant defense system. The relationship between insomnia, depression, and anxiety disorders damages the cardiovascular systems' immune mechanisms and functions. Traditionally, polysomnography is used in the diagnosis of insomnia. This technique is complex, with a long time overhead. In this work, we have proposed a novel machine learning-based automatic detection system using the R-R intervals extracted from a single-lead electrocardiograph (ECG). Additionally, we aimed to explore the role of oxidative stress and inflammation in sleeping disorders and cardiovascular diseases, antioxidants' effects, and the psychopharmacological effect of herbal medicine. This work has been carried out in steps, which include collecting the ECG signal for normal and insomnia subjects, analyzing the signal, and finally, automatic classification. We used two approaches, including subjects (normal and insomnia), two sleep stages, i.e., wake and rapid eye movement, and three Machine Learning (ML)-based classifiers to complete the classification. A total number of 3000 ECG segments were collected from 18 subjects. Furthermore, using the theranostics approach, the role of mitochondrial dysfunction causing oxidative stress and inflammatory response in insomnia and cardiovascular diseases was explored. The data from various databases on the mechanism of action of different herbal medicines in insomnia and cardiovascular diseases with antioxidant and antidepressant activities were also retrieved. Random Forest (RF) classifier has shown the highest accuracy (subjects: 87.10% and sleep stage: 88.30%) compared to the Decision Tree (DT) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The results revealed that the suggested method could perform well in classifying the subjects and sleep stages. Additionally, a random forest machine learning-based classifier could be helpful in the clinical discovery of sleep complications, including insomnia. The evidence retrieved from the databases showed that herbal medicine contains numerous phytochemical bioactives and has multimodal cellular mechanisms of action, viz., antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, vasorelaxant, detoxifier, antidepressant, anxiolytic, and cell-rejuvenator properties. Other herbal medicines have a GABA-A receptor agonist effect. Hence, we recommend that the theranostics approach has potential and can be adopted for future research to improve the quality of life of humans.

Front Neurosci 2022; 16:974192. [PMID: 36278001 PMCID: PMC9584568 DOI: 10.3389/fnins.2022.974192] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2022] [Accepted: 09/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The rapid advancement in wearable solutions to monitor and score sleep staging has enabled monitoring outside of the conventional clinical settings. However, most of the devices and algorithms lack extensive and independent validation, a fundamental step to ensure robustness, stability, and replicability of the results beyond the training and testing phases. These systems are thought not to be feasible and reliable alternatives to the gold standard, polysomnography (PSG). Materials and methods This validation study highlights the accuracy and precision of the proposed heart rate (HR)-based deep-learning algorithm for sleep staging. The illustrated solution can perform classification at 2-levels (Wake; Sleep), 3-levels (Wake; NREM; REM) or 4- levels (Wake; Light; Deep; REM) in 30-s epochs. The algorithm was validated using an open-source dataset of PSG recordings (Physionet CinC dataset, n = 994 participants, 994 recordings) and a proprietary dataset of ECG recordings (Z3Pulse, n = 52 participants, 112 recordings) collected with a chest-worn, wireless sensor and simultaneous PSG collection using SOMNOtouch. Results We evaluated the performance of the models in both datasets in terms of Accuracy (A), Cohen's kappa (K), Sensitivity (SE), Specificity (SP), Positive Predictive Value (PPV), and Negative Predicted Value (NPV). In the CinC dataset, the highest value of accuracy was achieved by the 2-levels model (0.8797), while the 3-levels model obtained the best value of K (0.6025). The 4-levels model obtained the lowest SE (0.3812) and the highest SP (0.9744) for the classification of Deep sleep segments. AHI and biological sex did not affect scoring, while a significant decrease of performance by age was reported across the models. In the Z3Pulse dataset, the highest value of accuracy was achieved by the 2-levels model (0.8812), whereas the 3-levels model obtained the best value of K (0.611). For classification of the sleep states, the lowest SE (0.6163) and the highest SP (0.9606) were obtained for the classification of Deep sleep segment. Conclusion The results of the validation procedure demonstrated the feasibility of accurate HR-based sleep staging. The combination of the proposed sleep staging algorithm with an inexpensive HR device, provides a cost-effective and non-invasive solution deployable in the home environment and robust across age, sex, and AHI scores.

Abstract
Background The expanding usage of complex machine learning methods such as deep learning has led to an explosion in human activity recognition, particularly applied to health. However, complex models which handle private and sometimes protected data, raise concerns about the potential leak of identifiable data. In this work, we focus on the case of a deep network model trained on images of individual faces. Materials and methods A previously published deep learning model, trained to estimate the gaze from full-face image sequences was stress tested for personal information leakage by a white box inference attack. Full-face video recordings taken from 493 individuals undergoing an eye-tracking- based evaluation of neurological function were used. Outputs, gradients, intermediate layer outputs, loss, and labels were used as inputs for a deep network with an added support vector machine emission layer to recognize membership in the training data. Results The inference attack method and associated mathematical analysis indicate that there is a low likelihood of unintended memorization of facial features in the deep learning model. Conclusions In this study, it is showed that the named model preserves the integrity of training data with reasonable confidence. The same process can be implemented in similar conditions for different models.

Abstract
Sleep is crucial for human health from metabolic, mental, emotional, and social points of view; obtaining good sleep in terms of quality and duration is fundamental for maintaining a good life quality. Over the years, several systems have been proposed in the scientific literature and on the market to derive metrics used to quantify sleep quality as well as detect sleep disturbances and disorders. In this field, wearable systems have an important role in the discreet, accurate, and long-term detection of biophysical markers useful to determine sleep quality. This paper presents the current state-of-the-art wearable systems and software tools for sleep staging and detecting sleep disorders and dysfunctions. At first, the paper discusses sleep's functions and the importance of monitoring sleep to detect eventual sleep disturbance and disorders. Afterward, an overview of prototype and commercial headband-like wearable devices to monitor sleep is presented, both reported in the scientific literature and on the market, allowing unobtrusive and accurate detection of sleep quality markers. Furthermore, a survey of scientific works related the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on sleep functions, attributable to both infection and lifestyle changes. In addition, a survey of algorithms for sleep staging and detecting sleep disorders is introduced based on an analysis of single or multiple biosignals (EEG-electroencephalography, ECG-electrocardiography, EMG-electromyography, EOG-electrooculography, etc.). Lastly, comparative analyses and insights are provided to determine the future trends related to sleep monitoring systems.

Abstract
Sleep is one of the most important human physiological activities and plays an essential role in human health. Polysomnography (PSG) is the gold standard for measuring sleep quality and disorders, but it is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to errors. Current research has confirmed the correlations between sleep and the respiratory/circulatory system. Electrocardiography (ECG) is convenient to perform, and ECG data are rich in breathing information. Therefore, sleep research based on ECG data has become popular. Currently, deep learning (DL) methods have achieved promising results on predictive health care tasks using ECG signals. Therefore, in this review, we systematically identify recent research studies and analyze them from the perspectives of data, model, and task. We discuss the shortcomings, summarize the findings, and highlight the potential opportunities. For sleep-related tasks, many ECG-based DL methods produce more accurate results than traditional approaches by combining multiple signal features and model structures. Methods that are more interpretable, scalable, and transferable will become ubiquitous in the daily practice of medicine and ambient-assisted-living applications. This paper is the first systematic review of ECG-based DL methods for sleep tasks.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sleep stage scoring, which is an essential step in the quantitative analysis of sleep monitoring, relies on human experts and is therefore subjective and time-consuming; thus, an easy and accurate method is needed for the automatic scoring of sleep stages. METHODS In this study, we constructed a deep convolutional recurrent (DCR) model for the automatic scoring of sleep stages based on a raw single-lead electrocardiogram (ECG). The DCR model uses deep convolutional and recurrent neural networks to apply the complex and cyclic rhythms of human sleep. It consists of three convolutional and two recurrent layers and is optimized by dropout and batch normalization. The constructed DCR model was evaluated using multiclass classification, including five-class sleep stages (wake, N1, N2, N3, and rapid eye movement (REM)) and three-class sleep stages (wake, non-REM (NREM), and REM), using a raw single-lead ECG signal. The single-lead ECG signal was collected from 112 subjects in two groups: control (52 subjects) and sleep apnea (60 subjects). The single-lead ECG signal was preprocessed, segmented at a duration of 30 s, and divided into a training set of 89 subjects and test set of 23 subjects. RESULTS We achieved an overall accuracy of 74.2% for five classes and 86.4% for three classes. CONCLUSIONS These results show the DCR model's superior performance over those in the previous studies, highlighting that the model can be an alternative tool for sleep monitoring and sleep screening.

Abstract
The Sleep Number smart bed uses embedded ballistocardiography, together with network connectivity, signal processing, and machine learning, to detect heart rate (HR), breathing rate (BR), and sleep vs. wake states. This study evaluated the performance of the smart bed relative to polysomnography (PSG) in estimating epoch-by-epoch HR, BR, sleep vs. wake, mean overnight HR and BR, and summary sleep variables. Forty-five participants (aged 22–64 years; 55% women) slept one night on the smart bed with standard PSG. Smart bed data were compared to PSG by Bland–Altman analysis and Pearson correlation for epoch-by-epoch HR and epoch-by-epoch BR. Agreement in sleep vs. wake classification was quantified using Cohen’s kappa, ROC analysis, sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and precision. Epoch-by-epoch HR and BR were highly correlated with PSG (HR: r = 0.81, |bias| = 0.23 beats/min; BR: r = 0.71, |bias| = 0.08 breaths/min), as were estimations of mean overnight HR and BR (HR: r = 0.94, |bias| = 0.15 beats/min; BR: r = 0.96, |bias| = 0.09 breaths/min). Calculated agreement for sleep vs. wake detection included kappa (prevalence and bias-adjusted) = 0.74 ± 0.11, AUC = 0.86, sensitivity = 0.94 ± 0.05, specificity = 0.48 ± 0.18, accuracy = 0.86 ± 0.11, and precision = 0.90 ± 0.06. For all-night summary variables, agreement was moderate to strong. Overall, the findings suggest that the Sleep Number smart bed may provide reliable metrics to unobtrusively characterize human sleep under real life-conditions.

Abstract
How the complexity or irregularity of heart rate variability (HRV) changes across different sleep stages and the importance of these features in sleep staging are not fully understood. This study aimed to investigate the complexity or irregularity of the RR interval time series in different sleep stages and explore their values in sleep staging. We performed approximate entropy (ApEn), sample entropy (SampEn), fuzzy entropy (FuzzyEn), distribution entropy (DistEn), conditional entropy (CE), and permutation entropy (PermEn) analyses on RR interval time series extracted from epochs that were constructed based on two methods: (1) 270-s epoch length and (2) 300-s epoch length. To test whether adding the entropy measures can improve the accuracy of sleep staging using linear HRV indices, XGBoost was used to examine the abilities to differentiate among: (i) 5 classes [Wake (W), non-rapid-eye-movement (NREM), which can be divide into 3 sub-stages: stage N1, stage N2, and stage N3, and rapid-eye-movement (REM)]; (ii) 4 classes [W, light sleep (combined N1 and N2), deep sleep (N3), and REM]; and (iii) 3 classes: (W, NREM, and REM). SampEn, FuzzyEn, and CE significantly increased from W to N3 and decreased in REM. DistEn increased from W to N1, decreased in N2, and further decreased in N3; it increased in REM. The average accuracy of the three tasks using linear and entropy features were 42.1%, 59.1%, and 60.8%, respectively, based on 270-s epoch length; all were significantly lower than the performance based on 300-s epoch length (i.e., 54.3%, 63.1%, and 67.5%, respectively). Adding entropy measures to the XGBoost model of linear parameters did not significantly improve the classification performance. However, entropy measures, especially PermEn, DistEn, and FuzzyEn, demonstrated greater importance than most of the linear parameters in the XGBoost model.300-s270-s.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) affects more than 900 million adults globally and can create serious health complications when untreated; however, 80% of cases remain undiagnosed. Critically, current diagnostic techniques are fundamentally limited by low throughputs and high failure rates. Here, we report a wireless, fully integrated, soft patch with skin-like mechanics optimized through analytical and computational studies to capture seismocardiograms, electrocardiograms, and photoplethysmograms from the sternum, allowing clinicians to investigate the cardiovascular response to OSA during home sleep tests. In preliminary trials with symptomatic and control subjects, the soft device demonstrated excellent ability to detect blood-oxygen saturation, respiratory effort, respiration rate, heart rate, cardiac pre-ejection period and ejection timing, aortic opening mechanics, heart rate variability, and sleep staging. Last, machine learning is used to autodetect apneas and hypopneas with 100% sensitivity and 95% precision in preliminary at-home trials with symptomatic patients, compared to data scored by professionally certified sleep clinicians.

Abstract
Healthy sleep is an essential physiological process for every individual to live a healthy life. Many sleep disorders both destroy the quality and decrease the duration of sleep. Thus, a convenient and accurate detection or classification method is important for screening and identifying sleep disorders. In this study, we proposed an AI-enabled algorithm for the automatic classification of sleep disorders based on a single-lead electrocardiogram (ECG). An AI-enabled algorithm—named a sleep disorder network (SDN)—was designed for automatic classification of four major sleep disorders, namely insomnia (INS), periodic leg movement (PLM), REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD), and nocturnal frontal-lobe epilepsy (NFE). The SDN was constructed using deep convolutional neural networks that can extract and analyze the complex and cyclic rhythm of sleep disorders that affect ECG patterns. The SDN consists of five layers, a 1D convolutional layer, and is optimized via dropout and batch normalization. The single-lead ECG signal was extracted from the 35 subjects with the control (CNT) and the four sleep disorder groups (seven subjects of each group) in the CAP Sleep Database. The ECG signal was pre-processed, segmented at 30 s intervals, and divided into the training, validation, and test sets consisting of 74,135, 18,534, and 23,168 segments, respectively. The constructed SDN was trained and evaluated using the CAP Sleep Database, which contains not only data on sleep disorders, but also data of the control group. The proposed SDN algorithm for the automatic classification of sleep disorders based on a single-lead ECG showed very high performances. We achieved F1 scores of 99.0%, 97.0%, 97.0%, 95.0%, and 98.0% for the CNT, INS, PLM, RBD, and NFE groups, respectively. We proposed an AI-enabled method for the automatic classification of sleep disorders based on a single-lead ECG signal. In addition, it represents the possibility of the sleep disorder classification using ECG only. The SDN can be a useful tool or an alternative screening method based on single-lead ECGs for sleep monitoring and screening.

Abstract
Sleep disorders form a massive global health burden and there is an increasing need for simple and cost-efficient sleep recording devices. Recent machine learning-based approaches have already achieved scoring accuracy of sleep recordings on par with manual scoring, even with reduced recording montages. Simple and inexpensive monitoring over multiple consecutive nights with automatic analysis could be the answer to overcome the substantial economic burden caused by poor sleep and enable more efficient initial diagnosis, treatment planning, and follow-up monitoring for individuals suffering from sleep disorders.

Abstract
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric condition resulting from threatening or horrifying events. We hypothesized that circadian rhythm changes, measured by a wrist-worn research watch are predictive of post-trauma outcomes. APPROACH 1618 post-trauma patients were enrolled after admission to emergency departments (ED). Three standardized questionnaires were administered at week eight to measure post-trauma outcomes related to PTSD, sleep disturbance, and pain interference with daily life. Pulse activity and movement data were captured from a research watch for eight weeks. Standard and novel movement and cardiovascular metrics that reflect circadian rhythms were derived using this data. These features were used to train different classifiers to predict the three outcomes derived from week-eight surveys. Clinical surveys administered at ED were also used as features in the baseline models. RESULTS The highest cross-validated performance of research watch-based features was achieved for classifying participants with pain interference by a logistic regression model, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.70. The ED survey-based model achieved an AUC of 0.77, and the fusion of research watch and ED survey metrics improved the AUC to 0.79. SIGNIFICANCE This work represents the first attempt to predict and classify post-trauma symptoms from passive wearable data using machine learning approaches that leverage the circadian desynchrony in a potential PTSD population.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES We have developed the CardioRespiratory Sleep Staging (CReSS) algorithm for estimating sleep stages using heart rate variability and respiration, allowing for estimation of sleep staging during home sleep apnea tests. Our objective was to undertake an epoch-by-epoch validation of algorithm performance against the gold standard of manual polysomnography sleep staging. METHODS Using 296 polysomnographs, we created a limited montage of airflow and heart rate and deployed CReSS to identify each 30-second epoch as wake, light sleep (N1 + N2), deep sleep (N3), or rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. We calculated Cohen's kappa and the percentage of accurately identified epochs. We repeated our analyses after stratification by sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) severity, and after adding thoracic respiratory effort as a backup signal for periods of invalid airflow. RESULTS CReSS discriminated wake/light sleep/deep sleep/REM sleep with 78% accuracy; the kappa value was 0.643 (95% confidence interval, 0.641-0.645). Discrimination of wake/sleep demonstrated a kappa value of 0.711 and accuracy of 89%, non-REM sleep/REM sleep demonstrated a kappa of 0.790 and accuracy of 94%, and light sleep/deep sleep demonstrated a kappa of 0.469 and accuracy of 87%. Kappa values did not vary by more than 0.07 across subgroups of no SDB, mild SDB, moderate SDB, and severe SDB. Accuracy increased to 80%, with a kappa value of 0.680 (95% confidence interval, 0.678-0.682), when CReSS additionally utilized the thoracic respiratory effort signal. CONCLUSIONS We observed substantial agreement between CReSS and the gold-standard comparator of manual sleep staging of polysomnographic signals, which was consistent across the full range of SDB severity. Future research should focus on the extent to which CReSS reduces the discrepancy between the apnea-hypopnea index and the respiratory event index, and the ability of CReSS to identify REM sleep-related obstructive sleep apnea.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Automatic sleep stage classification depends crucially on the selection of a good set of descriptive features. However, the selection of a feature set with an appropriate low computational cost without compromising classification performance is still a challenge. This study attempts to represent sleep EEG patterns using a minimum number of features, without significant performance loss. METHODS Three feature selection algorithms were applied to a high dimensional feature space comprising 84 features. These methods were based on a bootstrapping approach guided by Gini ranking and mutual information between the features. The algorithms were tested on three scalp electroencephalography (EEG) and one ear-EEG datasets. The relationship between the information carried by different features was investigated using mutual information and illustrated by a graphical clustering tool. RESULTS The minimum number of features that can represent the whole feature set without performance loss was found to range between 5 and 11 for different datasets. In ear-EEG, 7 features based on Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) resulted in similar performance as the whole set whereas in two scalp EEG datasets, the difference between minimal CWT set and the whole set was statistically significant (0.008 and 0.017 difference in average kappa). Features were divided into groups according to the type of information they carry. The group containing relative power features was identified as the most informative feature group in sleep stage classification, whereas the group containing non-linear features was found to be the least informative. CONCLUSIONS This study showed that EEG sleep staging can be performed based on a low dimensional feature space without significant decrease in sleep staging performance. This is especially important in the case of wearable devices like ear-EEG where low computational complexity is needed. The division of the feature space into groups of features, and the analysis of the distribution of feature groups for different feature set sizes, is helpful in the selection of an appropriate feature set.

Deep learning enables sleep staging from photoplethysmogram for patients with suspected sleep apnea. Sleep 2021; 43:5841624. [PMID: 32436942 PMCID: PMC7658638 DOI: 10.1093/sleep/zsaa098] [Citation(s) in RCA: 61] [Impact Index Per Article: 20.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2019] [Revised: 03/05/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Study Objectives Accurate identification of sleep stages is essential in the diagnosis of sleep disorders (e.g. obstructive sleep apnea [OSA]) but relies on labor-intensive electroencephalogram (EEG)-based manual scoring. Furthermore, long-term assessment of sleep relies on actigraphy differentiating only between wake and sleep periods without identifying specific sleep stages and having low reliability in identifying wake periods after sleep onset. To address these issues, we aimed to develop an automatic method for identifying the sleep stages from the photoplethysmogram (PPG) signal obtained with a simple finger pulse oximeter. Methods PPG signals from the diagnostic polysomnographies of susptected OSA patients (n = 894) were utilized to develop a combined convolutional and recurrent neural network. The deep learning model was trained individually for three-stage (wake/NREM/REM), four-stage (wake/N1+N2/N3/REM), and five-stage (wake/N1/N2/N3/REM) classification of sleep. Results The three-stage model achieved an epoch-by-epoch accuracy of 80.1% with Cohen’s κ of 0.65. The four- and five-stage models achieved 68.5% (κ = 0.54), and 64.1% (κ = 0.51) accuracies, respectively. With the five-stage model, the total sleep time was underestimated with a mean bias error (SD) of of 7.5 (55.2) minutes. Conclusion The PPG-based deep learning model enabled accurate estimation of sleep time and differentiation between sleep stages with a moderate agreement to manual EEG-based scoring. As PPG is already included in ambulatory polygraphic recordings, applying the PPG-based sleep staging could improve their diagnostic value by enabling simple, low-cost, and reliable monitoring of sleep and help assess otherwise overlooked conditions such as REM-related OSA.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES To validate a previously developed sleep staging algorithm using heart rate variability (HRV) and body movements in an independent broad cohort of unselected sleep disordered patients. METHODS We applied a previously designed algorithm for automatic sleep staging using long short-term memory recurrent neural networks to model sleep architecture. The classifier uses 132 HRV features computed from electrocardiography and activity counts from accelerometry. We retrained our algorithm using two public datasets containing both healthy sleepers and sleep disordered patients. We then tested the performance of the algorithm on an independent hold-out validation set of sleep recordings from a wide range of sleep disorders collected in a tertiary sleep medicine center. RESULTS The classifier achieved substantial agreement on four-class sleep staging (wake/N1-N2/N3/rapid eye movement [REM]), with an average κ of 0.60 and accuracy of 75.9%. The performance of the sleep staging algorithm was significantly higher in insomnia patients (κ = 0.62, accuracy = 77.3%). Only in REM parasomnias, the performance was significantly lower (κ = 0.47, accuracy = 70.5%). For two-class wake/sleep classification, the classifier achieved a κ of 0.65, with a sensitivity (to wake) of 72.9% and specificity of 94.0%. CONCLUSIONS This study shows that the combination of HRV, body movements, and a state-of-the-art deep neural network can reach substantial agreement in automatic sleep staging compared with polysomnography, even in patients suffering from a multitude of sleep disorders. The physiological signals required can be obtained in various ways, including non-obtrusive wrist-worn sensors, opening up new avenues for clinical diagnostics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop a sleep staging method from wrist-worn accelerometry and the photoplethysmogram (PPG) by leveraging transfer learning from a large electrocardiogram (ECG) database. APPROACH In previous work, we developed a deep convolutional neural network for sleep staging from ECG using the cross-spectrogram of ECG-derived respiration and instantaneous beat intervals, heart rate variability metrics, spectral characteristics, and signal quality measures derived from 5,793 subjects in Sleep Heart Health Study (SHHS). We updated the weights of this model by transfer learning using PPG data derived from the Empatica E4 wristwatch worn by 105 subjects in the `Emory Twin Study Follow-up' (ETSF) database, for whom overnight polysomnographic (PSG) scoring was available. The relative performance of PPG, and actigraphy (Act), plus combinations of these two signals, with and without transfer learning was assessed. MAIN RESULTS The performance of our model with transfer learning showed higher accuracy (1-9 percentage points) and Cohen's Kappa (0.01-0.13) than those without transfer learning for every classification category. Statistically significant, though relatively small, incremental differences in accuracy occurred for every classification category as tested with the McNemar test. The out-of-sample classification performance using features from PPG and actigraphy for four-class classification was Accuracy (Acc)=68.62% and Kappa=0.44. For two-class classification, the performance was Acc=81.49% and Kappa=0.58. SIGNIFICANCE We proposed a combined PPG and actigraphy-based sleep stage classification approach using transfer learning from a large ECG sleep database. Results demonstrate that the transfer learning approach improves estimates of sleep state. The use of automated beat detectors and quality metrics means human over-reading is not required, and the approach can be scaled for large cross-sectional or longitudinal studies using wrist-worn devices for sleep-staging.

Abstract
Designing wearable systems for sleep detection and staging is extremely challenging due to the numerous constraints associated with sensing, usability, accuracy, and regulatory requirements. Several researchers have explored the use of signals from a subset of sensors that are used in polysomnography (PSG), whereas others have demonstrated the feasibility of using alternative sensing modalities. In this paper, a systematic review of the different sensing modalities that have been used for wearable sleep staging is presented. Based on a review of 90 papers, 13 different sensing modalities are identified. Each sensing modality is explored to identify signals that can be obtained from it, the sleep stages that can be reliably identified, the classification accuracy of systems and methods using the sensing modality, as well as the usability constraints of the sensor in a wearable system. It concludes that the two most common sensing modalities in use are those based on electroencephalography (EEG) and photoplethysmography (PPG). EEG-based systems are the most accurate, with EEG being the only sensing modality capable of identifying all the stages of sleep. PPG-based systems are much simpler to use and better suited for wearable monitoring but are unable to identify all the sleep stages.

Abstract
Epidemiological sleep research strives to identify the interactions and causal mechanisms by which sleep affects human health, and to design intervention strategies for improving sleep throughout the lifespan. These goals can be advanced by further focusing on the environmental and genetic etiology of sleep disorders, and by development of risk stratification algorithms, to identify people who are at risk or are affected by, sleep disorders. These studies rely on comprehensive sleep-related data which often contains complex multi-dimensional physiological and molecular measurements across multiple timepoints. Thus, sleep research is well-suited for the application of computational approaches that can handle high-dimensional data. Here, we survey recent advances in machine and deep learning together with the availability of large human cohort studies with sleep data that can jointly drive the next breakthroughs in the sleep-research field. We describe sleep-related data types and datasets, and present some of the tasks in the field that can be targets for algorithmic approaches, as well as the challenges and opportunities in pursuing them.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Automated sleep stage scoring is not yet vigorously used in practice because of the black-box nature and the risk of wrong predictions. The objective of this study was to introduce a confidence-based framework to detect the possibly wrong predictions that would inform clinicians about which epochs would require a manual review and investigate the potential to improve accuracy for automated sleep stage scoring. METHODS We used 702 polysomnography studies from a local clinical dataset (SNUBH dataset) and 2804 from an open dataset (SHHS dataset) for experiments. We adapted the state-of-the-art TinySleepNet architecture to train the classifier and modified the ConfidNet architecture to train an auxiliary confidence model. For the confidence model, we developed a novel method, Dropout Correct Rate (DCR), and the performance of it was compared with other existing methods. RESULTS Confidence estimates (0.754) reflected accuracy (0.758) well in general. The best performance for differentiating correct and wrong predictions was shown when using the DCR method (AUROC: 0.812) compared to the existing approaches which largely failed to detect wrong predictions. By reviewing only 20% of epochs that received the lowest confidence values, the overall accuracy of sleep stage scoring was improved from 76% to 87%. For patients with reduced accuracy (ie, individuals with obesity or severe sleep apnea), the possible improvement range after applying confidence estimation was even greater. CONCLUSION To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study applying confidence estimation on automated sleep stage scoring. Reliable confidence estimates by the DCR method help screen out most of the wrong predictions, which would increase the reliability and interpretability of automated sleep stage scoring.

Abstract
Sleep is vital for one’s general well-being, but it is often neglected, which has led to an increase in sleep disorders worldwide. Indicators of sleep disorders, such as sleep interruptions, extreme daytime drowsiness, or snoring, can be detected with sleep analysis. However, sleep analysis relies on visuals conducted by experts, and is susceptible to inter- and intra-observer variabilities. One way to overcome these limitations is to support experts with a programmed diagnostic tool (PDT) based on artificial intelligence for timely detection of sleep disturbances. Artificial intelligence technology, such as deep learning (DL), ensures that data are fully utilized with low to no information loss during training. This paper provides a comprehensive review of 36 studies, published between March 2013 and August 2020, which employed DL models to analyze overnight polysomnogram (PSG) recordings for the classification of sleep stages. Our analysis shows that more than half of the studies employed convolutional neural networks (CNNs) on electroencephalography (EEG) recordings for sleep stage classification and achieved high performance. Our study also underscores that CNN models, particularly one-dimensional CNN models, are advantageous in yielding higher accuracies for classification. More importantly, we noticed that EEG alone is not sufficient to achieve robust classification results. Future automated detection systems should consider other PSG recordings, such as electroencephalogram (EEG), electrooculogram (EOG), and electromyogram (EMG) signals, along with input from human experts, to achieve the required sleep stage classification robustness. Hence, for DL methods to be fully realized as a practical PDT for sleep stage scoring in clinical applications, inclusion of other PSG recordings, besides EEG recordings, is necessary. In this respect, our report includes methods published in the last decade, underscoring the use of DL models with other PSG recordings, for scoring of sleep stages.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The maturation of neural network-based techniques in combination with the availability of large sleep datasets has increased the interest in alternative methods of sleep monitoring. For unobtrusive sleep staging, the most promising algorithms are based on heart rate variability computed from inter-beat intervals (IBIs) derived from ECG-data. The practical application of these algorithms is even more promising when alternative ways of obtaining IBIs, such as wrist-worn photoplethysmography (PPG) can be used. However, studies validating sleep staging algorithms directly on PPG-based data are limited. RESULTS We applied an automatic sleep staging algorithm trained and validated on ECG-data directly on inter-beat intervals derived from a wrist-worn PPG sensor, in 389 polysomnographic recordings of patients with a variety of sleep disorders. While the algorithm reached moderate agreement with gold standard polysomnography, the performance was significantly lower when applied on PPG- versus ECG-derived heart rate variability data (kappa 0.56 versus 0.60, p < 0.001; accuracy 73.0% versus 75.9% p < 0.001). These results show that direct application of an algorithm on a different source of data may negatively affect performance. Algorithms need to be validated using each data source and re-training should be considered whenever possible.

Abstract
Physiological signals can contain abundant personalized information and indicate health status and disease deterioration. However, in current medical practice, clinicians working in the general wards are usually lack of plentiful means and tools to continuously monitor the physiological signals of the inpatients. To address this problem, we here presented a medical-grade wireless monitoring system based on wearable and artificial intelligence technology. The system consists of a multi-sensor wearable device, database servers and user interfaces. It can monitor physiological signals such as electrocardiography and respiration and transmit data wirelessly. We highly integrated the system with the existing hospital information system and explored a set of processes of physiological signal acquisition, storage, analysis, and combination with electronic health records. Multi-scale information extracted from physiological signals and related to the deterioration or abnormality of patients could be shown on the user interfaces, while a variety of reports could be provided daily based on time-series signal processing technology and machine learning to make more information accessible to clinicians. Apart from an initial attempt to implement the system in a realistic clinical environment, we also conducted a preliminary validation of the core processes in the workflow. The heart rate veracity validation of 22 patient volunteers showed that the system had a great consistency with ECG Holter, and bias for heart rate was 0.04 (95% confidence interval: -7.34 to 7.42) beats per minute. The Bland-Altman analysis showed that 98.52% of the points were located between Mean ± 1.96SD. This system has been deployed in the general wards of the Hyperbaric Oxygen Department and Respiratory Medicine Department and has collected more than 1000 cases from the clinic. The whole system will continue to be updated based on clinical feedback. It has been demonstrated that this system can provide reliable physiological monitoring for patients in general wards and has the potential to generate more personalized pathophysiological information related to disease diagnosis and treatment from the continuously monitored physiological data.

[PMID: 32885052 PMCID: PMC7441407 DOI: 10.1038/s41746-020-0291-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2020] [Accepted: 05/19/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Clinical sleep evaluations currently require multimodal data collection and manual review by human experts, making them expensive and unsuitable for longer term studies. Sleep staging using cardiac rhythm is an active area of research because it can be measured much more easily using a wide variety of both medical and consumer-grade devices. In this study, we applied deep learning methods to create an algorithm for automated sleep stage scoring using the instantaneous heart rate (IHR) time series extracted from the electrocardiogram (ECG). We trained and validated an algorithm on over 10,000 nights of data from the Sleep Heart Health Study (SHHS) and Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA). The algorithm has an overall performance of 0.77 accuracy and 0.66 kappa against the reference stages on a held-out portion of the SHHS dataset for classifying every 30 s of sleep into four classes: wake, light sleep, deep sleep, and rapid eye movement (REM). Moreover, we demonstrate that the algorithm generalizes well to an independent dataset of 993 subjects labeled by American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) licensed clinical staff at Massachusetts General Hospital that was not used for training or validation. Finally, we demonstrate that the stages predicted by our algorithm can reproduce previous clinical studies correlating sleep stages with comorbidities such as sleep apnea and hypertension as well as demographics such as age and gender.

[PMID: 31578345 PMCID: PMC6775145 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-49703-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 63] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2019] [Accepted: 07/10/2019] [Indexed: 01/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Automated sleep stage classification using heart rate variability (HRV) may provide an ergonomic and low-cost alternative to gold standard polysomnography, creating possibilities for unobtrusive home-based sleep monitoring. Current methods however are limited in their ability to take into account long-term sleep architectural patterns. A long short-term memory (LSTM) network is proposed as a solution to model long-term cardiac sleep architecture information and validated on a comprehensive data set (292 participants, 584 nights, 541.214 annotated 30 s sleep segments) comprising a wide range of ages and pathological profiles, annotated according to the Rechtschaffen and Kales (R&K) annotation standard. It is shown that the model outperforms state-of-the-art approaches which were often limited to non-temporal or short-term recurrent classifiers. The model achieves a Cohen's k of 0.61 ± 0.15 and accuracy of 77.00 ± 8.90% across the entire database. Further analysis revealed that the performance for individuals aged 50 years and older may decline. These results demonstrate the merit of deep temporal modelling using a diverse data set and advance the state-of-the-art for HRV-based sleep stage classification. Further research is warranted into individuals over the age of 50 as performance tends to worsen in this sub-population.

Abstract
Most caregivers of people with dementia (CPWD) experience a high degree of stress due to the demands of providing care, especially when addressing unpredictable behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia. Such challenging responsibilities make caregivers susceptible to poor sleep quality with detrimental effects on their overall health. Hence, monitoring caregivers' sleep quality can provide important CPWD stress assessment. Most current sleep studies are based on polysomnography, which is expensive and potentially disrupts the caregiving routine. To address these issues, we propose a clinical decision support system to predict sleep quality based on trends of physiological signals in the deep sleep stage. This system utilizes four raw physiological signals using a wearable device (E4 wristband): heart rate variability, electrodermal activity, body movement, and skin temperature. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, analyses were conducted on a two-week period of sleep monitored on eight CPWD. The best performance is achieved using the random forest classifier with an accuracy of 75% for sleep quality, and 73% for restfulness, respectively. We found that the most important features to detect these measures are sleep efficiency (ratio of amount of time asleep to the amount of time in bed) and skin temperature. The results from our sleep analysis system demonstrate the capability of using wearable sensors to measure sleep quality and restfulness in CPWD.
