  • Abstract
    An electronics hardware-based monitor is presented for the detection and differentiation of all forms of sleep apnea solely by the information from abdominal and thoracic excursion signals. The working of the developed monitor has been successfully tested by generating the conditions of various forms of apnea artificially.
