Detect Apneic Events in SpO2 Signal Data — detect_apneic

This function implements the algorithm described by Jund & Al in "Real-Time Automatic Apneic Event Detection Using Nocturnal Pulse Oximetry", 2018. It analyzes a given SpO2 signal to detect apneic events. It works by resampling the input signal and applying a series of checks to identify potential apnea instances. The algorithm uses a state machine with different blocks representing various stages of detection.

detect_apneic_events(spo2, sRate)

Arguments

spo2: A numeric vector representing the SpO2 signal data.
sRate: The original sampling rate of the SpO2 signal.

Value

A list of numeric vectors. Each vector represents a detected apneic event, containing the start and end indices of the event in the resampled signal.
