摘要：
Disclosed herein is a method and device for apnea and hypopnea detection. In one embodiment a method is provided for detecting apneas and hypopneas from a digitized breath sound recording acquired from a candidate suspected of sleep apnea. The method comprises scanning an amplitude profile of the digitized breath sound recording to identify a prospect event segment evaluating characteristics of the prospect event segment for consistency with one or more preset apnea specific criteria classifying the prospect event segment as representative of an apnea upon it satisfying each of the one or more apnea specific criteria evaluating the prospect event characteristics for consistency with one or more preset hypopnea specific criteria distinct from the apnea specific criteria and classifying the prospect event segment as representative of a hypopnea upon it satisfying each of the one or more hypopnea specific criteria.
