This special issue belongs to the section "Pathology and Molecular Diagnostics".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute the Special Issue *Moving beyond Current Diagnosis of Sleep-Disordered Breathing*, to be published in Diagnostics.
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is a huge global burden for affected individuals and society as a whole.
This Special Issue aims to seek novel pathways, technological solutions, and analytical approaches for more accurate monitoring, detection, and quantification of SDB to replace the current outdated, expensive, and labor-intensive clinical practices.
Both original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- The use of machine learning to analyze sleep data and estimate the risk for symptoms and adverse health consequences;
- Novel pathways to monitor and diagnose SDB;
- Wearable technologies for long-term monitoring of SDB and diagnosis;
- Novel subjective and objective methods to estimate the effect of SDB on patient well-being.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
