Polysomnography is a multi-parametric test that is used to study sleep and sleep-disordered breathing. Presently, sleep studies are only performed in hospital sleep laboratories. They require an overnight stay and continuous monitoring using a number of sensors. Such studies are labour intensive and costly, and because the sensors are attached to the patient's body, the test methods used are invasive and can significantly interrupt normal sleep patterns, especially in children. The goal of the proposed research is to perform a feasibility study of a novel noninvasive method to assess sleep-disordered breathing. The project has a great potential to reduce healthcare costs associated with sleep studies because, if successful, the methods will allow for the pre-screening of patients in their homes over several nights.

多导睡眠图是一种多参数测试，用于研究睡眠和睡眠呼吸障碍。目前，睡眠研究仅在医院睡眠实验室进行。它们需要过夜并使用许多传感器进行连续监测。这些研究是劳动密集型和昂贵的，并且由于传感器连接到患者的身体上，所使用的测试方法是侵入性的，并且可以显著中断正常的睡眠模式，特别是在儿童中。这项研究的目的是对一种新的非侵入性方法进行可行性研究，以评估睡眠呼吸障碍。该项目具有很大的潜力，可以降低与睡眠研究相关的医疗成本，因为如果成功的话，这些方法将允许患者在家中进行几个晚上的预先筛查。
