Popis: BACKGROUND: To validate the accuracy of ultra-wideband (UWB) wireless radar for the screening diagnosis of sleep apnea. METHODS: One hundred and seventy-six qualified participants were successfully recruited. Apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) results from polysomnography (PSG) were reviewed by physicians, while the radar device automatically calculated AHI values with an embedded chip. All results were statistically analyzed. RESULTS: A UWB radar-based AHI algorithm was successfully developed according to respiratory movement and body motion signals. Of all 176 participants, 63 exhibited normal results (AHI
