Categorizing Sleep in Older Adults with Wireless Activity Monitors Using LSTM Neural Networks

Year: 2019
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Novel approaches are needed to accurately classify and monitor sleep patterns in older adults, particularly those with cognitive impairment and non-normative sleep. Traditional methods ignore underlying sleep architecture in these patient populations, and other modern approaches tend to focus on healthy, normative patient populations. In this paper, we developed a model using a long-short-term memory neural network (LSTM) and trained it on a sample of older, non-normative patients. The 22 nights of data collected were trained on gold-standard polysomnography (PSG) as ground truth and were compared against the clinical standard threshold-based method for sleep detection. The LSTM more than doubled the traditional method's ability to detect clinically-relevant wakefulness during sleep (37.7% vs. 15%) without significantly sacrificing accuracy (67.7% vs. 75%) or precision (90.7% vs. 94%) of sleep classification.
