Sleep disorders cost the Australian health system an estimated $40 million per year. General practitioner's surgeries are not well equipped to deal with diagnosis and the majority of the referrals to specialists are unnecessary. This research will investigate and develop an intelligent decision support system to provide a cost effective solution to this problem. The developed software application will enable sleep study to be carried out at home, enabling general practitioners to conduct a preliminary diagnosis. Benefits include a reduction in the costs incurred in travel, time off work and at hospital sleep care centres for people in remote areas.

据估计，睡眠障碍每年给澳大利亚卫生系统造成4000万澳元的损失。 全科医生的手术没有很好的设备来处理诊断，大多数转诊给专家是不必要的。 本研究将探讨并发展一个智慧型决策支援系统，以提供一个具成本效益的解决方案。 开发的软件应用程序将使睡眠研究能够在家中进行，使全科医生能够进行初步诊断。 这些福利包括减少旅行、休假和偏远地区人民在医院睡眠护理中心的费用。
