Design of a MEMS sensor for sleep apnea detection

Currently existing solutions for Sleep Apnea requires the patient to be in a well equipped sleep laboratory over night, lasting for at least eight hours. This system is very costly and complex. If we use MEMS sensors for the same purpose, the cost as well as the complexity can be considerably reduced. The system proposed here can be effectively used even in home atmosphere for scoring the Sleep Apnea event of a patient under consideration.
