    Abstract: Described herein are various embodiments of a method and system for sleep detection. For example, in one embodiment, a method is described for automatically characterizing digitized breath sounds recorded from a subject over time as indicative of the subject being one of asleep and awake. This method comprises identify individual breathing cycles in a given segment of the recorded breath sounds; calculating one or more preset breathing cycle characteristics from the identified breathing cycles; evaluating a relative regularity of the calculated characteristics for the given segment; and upon the relative regularity satisfying a preset high regularity condition, outputting a sleep status indicator that the subject was likely asleep during the segment, otherwise outputting a wake indicator that the subject was likely awake during the segment.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a mask for use in respiratory monitoring and/or diagnostics. The mask comprises at least one transducer responsive to sound and/or airflow for generating a signal, and a support structure to rest on the subject's face. In one embodiment, the support structure comprises two or more limbs that provide a transducer support for supporting the transducer at a distance from a nose and mouth area, allowing monitoring via the transducer of sound and/or airflow produced by the subject. Also described is a mask comprising a transducer responsive to airflow for generating a signal and a support structure to rest on the subject's face and extend outwardly over a nose and mouth area to provide a transducer support supporting the transducer at a distance from a nose and mouth area of the subject's face and at a preset orientation, for monitoring via the transducer of airflow produced by the subject.
