Abstract:
The present invention relates to a system and method for determining sleep quality parameters according to audio analyses, comprising: obtaining an audio recorded signal comprising sleep sounds of a subject; segmenting the signal into epochs; generating a feature vector for each epoch, wherein each of said feature vectors comprises one or more feature parameters that are associated with a particular characteristic of the signal and that are calculated according to the epoch signal or according to a signal generated from the epoch signal; inputting the generated feature vectors into a machine learning classifier and applying a preformed classifying model on the feature vectors that outputs a probabilities vector for each epoch, wherein each of the probabilities vectors comprises the probabilities of the epoch being each of the sleep quality parameters; inputting the probabilities vectors for each epoch into a machine learning time series model and applying a preformed sleep quality time series pattern function on said probabilities vectors that outputs an enhanced probabilities vector for each epoch; determining a final sleep quality parameter for each epoch by calculating the most probable sleep quality parameters sequence.
