System and method for cardiorespiratory sleep stage classification

摘要

The present disclosure pertains to a system configured to determine one or more parameters based on cardiorespiratory information from a subject and determine sleep stage classifications based on a discriminative undirected probabilistic graphical model such as Conditional Random Fields using the determined parameters. The system is advantageous because sleep is a structured process in which parameters determined for individual epochs are not independent over time and the system determines the sleep stage classifications based on parameters determined for a current epoch, determined relationships between parameters, sleep stage classifications determined for previous epochs, and/or other information. The system does not assume that determined parameters are discriminative during an entire sleep stage, but maybe indicative of a sleep stage transition alone. In some embodiments, the system comprises one or more sensors, one or more physical computer processors, electronic storage, and a user interface.
