Changes in the pattern of motor activities during sleep can be a disease marker, or can reflect various abnormal physiological and neurological conditions. Currently, there are no unobtrusive ways to assess the quality of sleep at point of care outside of a clinic. In this paper, we propose an alternative method of detecting movements during sleep that can be deployed unobtrusively in a patient’s own home by using load cells sensors. This subject-independent method uses a linear discriminant…

Unobtrusive classification of sleep and wakefulness using load cells under the bed

TLDR
This paper proposes an alternative method of detecting periods of sleep and wake that can be obtained unobtrusively in a patient's own home by placing load cells under the supports of their bed and is robust and works well in clinical practice.

Unobtrusive Assessment of Motor Patterns During Sleep Based on Mattress Indentation Measurements

TLDR
An algorithm has been developed that detects movements based on the time derivate of mattress surface indentation, indicating that mattress indentation provides an accurate and unobtrusive measure to assess motor patterns during sleep.

Classification of breathing events using load cells under the bed

TLDR
It is described how load cell data can be used to distinguish between clinically relevant disordered breathing (apneas and hypopneas) and normal respiration and the method correctly classified disordered breathe segments with a sensitivity and specificity.

Development of a portable device for telemonitoring of physical activities during sleep.

TLDR
A portable telemonitoring device that detects movements of a subject by conductive mats, and evaluates sleep stages via physical activity data and serves as a Web server for monitoring physical activity and sleep/awake states in the home environment is described.

A subject state detection approach to determine rest-activity patterns using load cells

TLDR
An approach for determining two states, in-bed and out-of-bed, using load cells under the bed, is described, valuable as an objective and continuous measure of daily patterns, and particularly valuable in sleep studies in populations who would not be able to remember specific hours to complete sleep diaries.

Classification of lying position using load cells under the bed

TLDR
A method of predicting the position of an individual lying on the bed using load cells placed under each of the bed supports is presented, suggesting that load cells utilized in this manner could be successfully implemented into a system that tracks or helps train individuals to sleep in a particular lying position.

Nonconstrained Sleep Monitoring System and Algorithms Using Air-Mattress With Balancing Tube Method

TLDR
Findings support that ABMT method provides an accurate and reliable means to monitor heartbeat, respiration activities and the sleep events during sleep.

Identifying Movement Onset Times for a Bed-Based Pressure Sensor Array

Movement in bed-placed pressure arrays often interferes with measurements. A method for automatically determining movement onset times from a bed-based pressure sensor array is proposed. By using…

Issues of validity in actigraphic sleep assessment.

TLDR
Conclusions that actigraphy is not an accurate sleep-wake indicator and that it is inappropriate to infer sleep from actigraphY data are not supported by the findings.

Noninvasive measurement of heartbeat, respiration, snoring and body movements of a subject in bed via a pneumatic method

TLDR
Using the newly developed system, heartbeat, respiration, apnea, snoring and body movements are clearly measured and the optimal signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio by which to evaluate the reliability of the heart rate measurement is presented.
