Sleep Apnea Syndrome is a chronic disorder that leads to increased daytime sleepiness, is associated with causing accidents, developing cardiovascular and metabolic disorders as well as depression. It is estimated that 2 in 10 people suffer from sleep apnea while a large percentage of them remain undiagnosed. In people diagnosed with sleep apnea, the adherence to treatment is poor. The reference test is the polysomnogram (hereinafter referred to as polypnography) and the treatment of choice is the application of a pressure device. The objectives of the EuSleep project and its developed web platform are: (i) The development of a platform to store data from home recordings and monitor patients. (ii) The evaluation of undiagnosed individuals with screening in the general population. (iii) Better compliance with treatment through counseling services. (iv) The general improvement of the quality of life of the patients through the provision of services for the treatment of sleep apnea. Moreover, EuSleep project aims to materialize a more accurate, non-invasive screening test for sleep apnea, based on a set of targeted questions that is fed to a machine learning algorithm.
