Design of a Wireless Polysomnography System

Abstract

PSG (polysomnography) is a multi-parameter test used in sleep studies and sleep medicine. It is mostly used in the diagnosis of sleep respiratory disorders also PSG test can be used in the diagnosis of diseases such as sleep terror, restless leg syndrome, sleep paralysis and narcolepsy. The patient, who is subjected to the PSG test, spends the night in a sleep laboratory under the supervision of a specialist physician and technician. The PSG test is very expensive and there are a limited number of PSG devices and a limited number of sleep technicians for this test in sleep centers. Even if an attempt is made to prepare an environment close to the home, the sleep test performed in a laboratory environment cast out the patient from the natural sleep environment. For these reasons and more, devices have been manufactured to reduce the cost of tests, perform the test in the sleep environment that the patient is accustomed to, and serve more patients at home. In this study, an Lot based, wearable test device was developed that allows patients with sleep disorders to perform sleep tests at home, at lower costs, without the need for a sleep technician.
