Determination of the sleep structure via radar monitoring of respiratory movements and motor activity

Abstract

The issue of long-term automatic determination of the human sleep structure through the analysis of respiratory movements and motor activity recorded using bioradiolocation is considered. An algorithm for the determination of the human sleep structure is developed. The potentiality of determining the sleep structure with an average quality of 0.5 Cohen’s kappa relative to the “gold standard” (polysomnography) for apparently both healthy test subjects and insomniacs is demonstrated.
