Provided are systems () and methods () for providing contact-less sleep disorder diagnosis, including a sound input device () and/or a movement detector () that receive sound and/or movement data originating from a patient in a sleeping environment, respectively. Also included is a computer-implemented device () that receives and stores the sound and/or movement data and determines a sleep disorder diagnosis based on the received data.

Contactless sleep disorder screening system

The invention relates to a sleep disturbance monitoring apparatus () for monitoring a sleep disturbance of a person. An ambience disturbance profile, which describes which levels and/or changes of an ambient signal, which is, for example, a temperature signal or a noise signal, are related to disturbed sleep, is amended depending on a correlation between the ambience signal and a sleep signal which is indicative of the quality of the sleep of the person. After the ambience disturbance profile has been amended, an environmental disturbance factor, which disturbs the sleep, is determined based on a comparison of an actual ambient signal with the amended ambience disturbance profile, wherein information regarding the determined environmental disturbance factor is output to the person on an output unit. This allows providing personalized information regarding environmental sleep disturbance factors, i.e. the information considers the individual susceptibility of a person for environmental disturbances during sleep.
