Popis: Abstract In recent years, research on sleep monitoring and analysis has attracted many scholars. Among them, the polysomnography (PSG) is performed more accurately. However, PSG is not suitable to be used at home due to its complicated operation and expensive cost. On the other hand, although the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) is a standardized form for sleep quality assessment, the subjective and backward evaluation may lead to intuitive results. Therefore, this paper is intended to develop a sleep stage estimation system for home health care services. In the proposed platform, the sleep conditions, including the heart rate (HR) and body movement, are collected by an HR monitor and a force sensor array, respectively. Also, the fuzzy inference system is applied to the sleep depth evaluation, and then, the finite state machine is utilised to estimate the sleep stage. Experimental results show that the developed platform not only reduces the burden of PSG measurements, but also provides more convincible and reasonable results, presenting as an assistive tool of the conventional PSQI tests.
