Real-Time Sleep Stage Estimation from Biological Data with Trigonometric Function Regression Model

摘要

This paper proposes a novel method to estimate sleep stage in real-time with a non-contact device. The proposed method employs the trigonometric function regression model to estimate prospective heart rate from the partially obtained heart rate and calculates the sleep stage from the estimated heart rate. This paper conducts the subject experiment and it is revealed that the proposed method enables to estimate the sleep stage in real-time, in particular the proposed method has the equivalent estimation accuracy as the previous method that estimates the sleep stage according to the entire heart rate during sleeping.
