Sleep state classification using pressure sensor mats

Sleep state detection is valuable in assessing patient's sleep quality and in-bed general behavior. In this paper, a novel classification approach of sleep states (sleep, pre-wake, wake) is proposed that uses only surface pressure sensors. In our method, a mobility metric is defined based on successive pressure body maps. Then, suitable statistical features are computed based on the mobility metric. Finally, a customized random forest classifier is employed to identify various classes including a new class for pre-wake state. Our algorithm achieves 96.1% and 88% accuracies for two (sleep, wake) and three (sleep, pre-wake, wake) class identification, respectively.
