Remote transmission and analysis of signals from wearable devices in sleep disorders evaluation

The aim of this work is to propose a new approach to traditional sleep monitoring, in order to simplify the acquisition and the managing of the signals and to reduce the patient´s discomfort during data acquisition. Signals are collected by a sensorized garment and transmitted to a central elaboration station. The results of the elaboration are made available to the sleep specialist through a Web services organized Internet portal. The sleep specialist is able to review the data, to write and store in a database a diagnosis and to suggest a treatment for the patient. The employment of a sensorized garment drops down costs for installation and maintenance of a dedicated sleep monitoring center. Moreover, the Internet-based system proposed simplifies and speeds-up the retrieving and consulting of historical evidences
