"A group of scientists from Israel and Germany has discovered a new way to monitor sleep and potentially diagnose sleep disorders by recording heart rate. By utilizing a mathematical technique, the researchers analyzed the heart rate recordings to tease out information related to the synchronization between heartbeat and breathing."

Re: Researchers Analyze Sleep Disorders Using Only Heartbeat
James,
Thanks.
What I see as important here, is possibly a very cheap way to replace the PSG diagnostic night for simple OSA. A device, maybe similar to a holter monitor, can be sent to a patient's home to be worn for one night. If results are positive, the patient goes to a sleep lab for a titration night. During the titration night, it should also be observed whether the patient has any conditions besides OSA.
We need to save money on health costs.

I have a vision that we will figure out an easy way to ensure that children develop wide, deep, healthy and attractive jaws and then obstructive sleep apnea becomes an obscure bit of history.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ycw4uaX ... re=related
