Improving Actigraph Sleep/Wake Classification with Cardio-Respiratory Signals

Dario Floreano, Claudio Mattiussi, Walter Karlen

Actigraphy for long-term sleep/wake monitoring fails to correctly classify situations where the subject displays low activity, but is awake. In this paper we propose a new algorithm which uses both accelerometer and cardio-respiratory signals to overcome t ...
