SmartHypnos: Developing a Toolbox for Polysomnographic Data Visualization and Analysis*

In this paper we present the first steps in developing SmartHypnos, an easy to use and user friendly graphical user interface, which aims to provide polysomngographic data visualization and the detection and classification of sleep related events. Currently SmartHypnos supports the visualization of EEG, ECG, EOG and EMG signals, and respiratory signals such as nasal pressure, thermistor, oxygen saturation, thoracic and abdominal belt recordings. All these are incorporated into an interface that provides quick and effortless access to the signals mentioned above. The interface displays automatic sleep staging capabilities as well as the detection of apnea events with accuracy rates surpassing 80%. It is expected that SmartHypnos will reduce the time required to analyze sleep data and also reduce possible human errors.
