A method and system for detecting sleep apnea involves determining the sleep stage, and detecting an apnea event based on a physiological sensor signal using selection of a detection algorithm which is dependent on the determined sleep stage. By taking account of the sleep stage when performing an automated apnea detection process, the accuracy of the apnea detection is improved.

Sleep apnea detection system and method

A method for generating sleep apnea information for a portion of body sensor data. The method of generating sleep apnea information is made dependent upon a determined presence or absence of arrhythmia within the portion of body sensor data. A first sleep apnea detection methodology is used in response to an absence of arrhythmia being detected within the portion of body sensor data.
