Classification Of Sleep-Wake State In A Ballistocardiogram System Based On Deep Learning
share
Sleep state classification is vital in managing and understanding sleep patterns and is generally the first step in identifying acute or chronic sleep disorders. However, it is essential to do this without affecting the natural environment or conditions of the subject during their sleep. Techniques such as Polysomnography(PSG) are obtrusive and are not convenient for regular sleep monitoring. Fortunately, The rise of novel technologies and advanced computing has given a recent resurgence to monitoring sleep techniques. One such contactless and unobtrusive monitoring technique is Ballistocradiography(BCG), in which vitals are monitored by measuring the body's reaction to the cardiac ejection of blood. In this study, we propose a Multi-Head 1D-Convolution based Deep Neural Network to classify sleep-wake state and predict sleep-wake time accurately using the signals coming from a BCG sensor. Our method achieves a sleep-wake classification score of 95.5 on the PSG system. We further conducted two independent studies in a controlled and uncontrolled environment to test the sleep-wake prediction accuracy. We achieve a score of 94.16 94.90 contactless nature of the proposed system make it a convenient method for long term monitoring of sleep states.
