Abstract
Wearable devices are increasingly used by a growing portion of the population to track health and illnesses. The data emerging from these devices can potentially transform health care. This requires an interoperability framework that enables the deployment of platforms, sensors, devices, and software applications within diverse health systems, aiming to facilitate innovation in preventing and treating cardiovascular disease. However, the current data ecosystem includes several noninteroperable systems that inhibit such objectives. The design of clinically meaningful systems for accessing and incorporating these data into clinical workflows requires strategies to ensure the quality of data and clinical content and patient and caregiver accessibility. This scientific statement aims to address the best practices, gaps, and challenges pertaining to data interoperability in this area, with considerations for (1) data integration and the scope of measures, (2) application of these data into clinical approaches/strategies, and (3) regulatory/ethical/legal issues.

Abstract
Scoring polysomnography for obstructive sleep apnea diagnosis is a laborious, long, and costly process. Machine learning approaches, such as deep neural networks, can reduce scoring time and costs. However, most methods require prior filtering and preprocessing of the raw signal. Our work presents a novel method for diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea using a transformer neural network with learnable positional encoding, which outperforms existing state-of-the-art solutions. This approach has the potential to improve the diagnostic performance of oximetry for obstructive sleep apnea and reduce the time and costs associated with traditional polysomnography. Contrary to existing approaches, our approach performs annotations at one-second granularity. Allowing physicians to interpret the model's outcome. In addition, we tested different positional encoding designs as the first layer of the model, and the best results were achieved using a learnable positional encoding based on an autoencoder with structural novelty. In addition, we tried different temporal resolutions with various granularity levels from 1 to 360 s. All experiments were carried out on an independent test set from the public OSASUD dataset and showed that our approach outperforms current state-of-the-art solutions with a satisfactory AUC of 0.89, accuracy of 0.80, and F1-score of 0.79.

Abstract
Sleep apnea (SA) is a common breathing disease, with clinical manifestations of sleep snoring at night with apnea and daytime sleepiness. It could lead to ischemic heart disease, stroke, or even sudden death. SpO2 signal is highly related to SA, and many automatic SA detection methods have been proposed. However, extant work focuses on small datasets with relatively few subjects (less than 100) and is unaware of SA syndromes occurring about 5 seconds prior to the SpO2 change. This study proposes an automatic SA detector called DSCNN using a single-lead SpO2 signal with a dual-scale convolutional neural network. To solve the time-delayed problem of SpO2 changes, we enlarge the target SpO2 segment information by combining its subsequent segment information. To utilize neighbouring segments information and further facilitate the SA detection performance, a dual-scale neural network with the fusing information of the prolonged target segment and its two surrounding segments is proposed. Three datasets from multiple centres are employed to verify the generic performance of DSCNN. Here, we must point out that we use two datasets as external datasets, and one of them is collected from the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University with a large sample size (450 subjects). Extensive experiment results show that DSCNN can achieve promising results which are superior to the existing state-of-the-art methods.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Sleep quality is associated with wellness, and its assessment can help diagnose several disorders and diseases. Sleep analysis is commonly performed based on self-rating indices, sleep duration, environmental factors, physiologically and polysomnographic-derived parameters, and the occurrence of disorders. However, the correlation that has been observed between the subjective assessment and objective measurements of sleep quality is small. Recently, a few automated systems have been suugested to measure sleep quality to address this challenge. Sleep quality can be assessed by evaluating macrostructure-based sleep analysis via the examination of sleep cycles, namely Rapid Eye Movement (REM) and Non Rapid Eye Movement (NREM) with N1, N2, and N3 stages. However, macrostructure sleep analysis does not consider transitory phenomena like K-complexes and transient fluctuations, which are indispensable in diagnosing various sleep disorders. The CAP, part of the microstructure of sleep, may offer a more precise and relevant examination of sleep and can be considered one of the candidates to measure sleep quality and identify sleep disorders such as insomnia and apnea. CAP is characterized by very subtle changes in the brain's electroencephalogram (EEG) signals that occur during the NREM stage of sleep. The variations among these patterns in healthy subjects and subjects with sleep disorders can be used to identify sleep disorders. Studying CAP is highly arduous for human experts; thus, developing automated systems for assessing CAP is gaining momentum. Developing new techniques for automated CAP detection installed in clinical setups is essential. This paper aims to analyze the algorithms and methods presented in the literature for the automatic assessment of CAP and the development of CAP-based sleep markers that may enhance sleep quality assessment, helping diagnose sleep disorders. METHODS This literature survey examined the automated assessment of CAP and related parameters. We have reviewed 34 research articles, including fourteen ML, nine DL, and ten based on some other techniques. RESULTS The review includes various algorithms, databases, features, classifiers, and classification performances and their comparisons, advantages, and limitations of automated systems for CAP assessment. CONCLUSION A detailed description of state-of-the-art research findings on automated CAP assessment and associated challenges has been presented. Also, the research gaps have been identified based on our review. Further, future research directions are suggested for sleep quality assessment using CAP.

Abstract
Schizophrenia (SZ) is a devastating mental disorder that disrupts higher brain functions like thought, perception, etc., with a profound impact on the individual's life. Deep learning (DL) can detect SZ automatically by learning signal data characteristics hierarchically without the need for feature engineering associated with traditional machine learning. We performed a systematic review of DL models for SZ detection. Various deep models like long short-term memory, convolution neural networks, AlexNet, etc., and composite methods have been published based on electroencephalographic signals, and structural and/or functional magnetic resonance imaging acquired from SZ patients and healthy patients control subjects in diverse public and private datasets. The studies, the study datasets, and model methodologies are reported in detail. In addition, the challenges of DL models for SZ diagnosis and future works are discussed.

Abstract
Nowadays, the hectic work life of people has led to sleep deprivation. This may further result in sleep-related disorders and adverse physiological conditions. Therefore, sleep study has become an active research area. Sleep scoring is crucial for detecting sleep-related disorders like sleep apnea, insomnia, narcolepsy, periodic leg movement (PLM), and restless leg syndrome (RLS). Sleep is conventionally monitored in a sleep laboratory using polysomnography (PSG) which is the recording of various physiological signals. The traditional sleep stage scoring (SSG) done by professional sleep scorers is a tedious, strenuous, and time-consuming process as it is manual. Hence, developing a machine-learning model for automatic SSG is essential. In this study, we propose an automated SSG approach based on the biorthogonal wavelet filter bank's (BWFB) novel least squares (LS) design. We have utilized a huge Wisconsin sleep cohort (WSC) database in this study. The proposed study is a pioneering work on automatic sleep stage classification using the WSC database, which includes good sleepers and patients suffering from various sleep-related disorders, including apnea, insomnia, hypertension, diabetes, and asthma. To investigate the generalization of the proposed system, we evaluated the proposed model with the following publicly available databases: cyclic alternating pattern (CAP), sleep EDF, ISRUC, MIT-BIH, and the sleep apnea database from St. Vincent's University. This study uses only two unipolar EEG channels, namely O1-M2 and C3-M2, for the scoring. The Hjorth parameters (HP) are extracted from the wavelet subbands (SBS) that are obtained from the optimal BWFB. To classify sleep stages, the HP features are fed to several supervised machine learning classifiers. 12 different datasets have been created to develop a robust model. A total of 12 classification tasks (CT) have been conducted employing various classification algorithms. Our developed model achieved the best accuracy of 83.2% and Cohen's Kappa of 0.7345 to reliably distinguish five sleep stages, using an ensemble bagged tree classifier with 10-fold cross-validation using WSC data. We also observed that our system is either better or competitive with existing state-of-art systems when we tested with the above-mentioned five databases other than WSC. This method yielded promising results using only two EEG channels using a huge WSC database. Our approach is simple and hence, the developed model can be installed in home-based clinical systems and wearable devices for sleep scoring.
