Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing scoring analysis of the pathological sleep events of apnea, hypopnea and desaturation of a patient from a sampled data set of only three sensor signals, namely, airflow, heart rate and oxygen saturation. The data source is either currently sensed data or previously recorded data. A microprocessor provides the display, printing, input and output channels, operator interface and computation capability for the system. Specialized programs direct the analysis and operation thereof.
