Noncontact identification of sleep-disturbed breathing from smartphone-recorded sounds validated by polysomnography.

CONCLUSIONS: Ambient sounds recorded from a smartphone during sleep can identify apnea and abnormal breathing verified on PSG. Future studies should determine if this approach may facilitate early screening of SDB to identify at-risk patients for definitive diagnosis and therapy.
