Abstract
This paper presents an inexpensive MEMS accelerometer-based sleep-apnea screening technique. The algorithm presented here is easy to implement on a low-end microprocessor, and also accurate enough to detect both obstructive sleep apnea and hypopnea episodes. The results of some preliminary studies are included.
