  • Publication number: 20240032859
    Abstract: A sleep state prediction system includes a phase coherence acquisition device that acquires phase coherence calculated based on a difference in an instantaneous phase between a variation in a heartbeat interval and a breathing pattern; at least one of a body movement information acquisition device that acquires body movement information, a heartbeat information acquisition device that acquires heartbeat information from the animal simultaneously with the variation, and a respiratory information acquisition device that acquires respiratory information; and a sleep state prediction device that includes a sleep state prediction model, which is established through machine learning with sleep stages assessed by polysomnography on the animal as teaching data and at least 2 sets of data out 4 parameters of phase coherence, body movement, heartbeat, and respiration respectively obtained from bio-vibration signals acquired simultaneously during the polysomnography as input data, mandatorily including the phase coheren

  • Patent number: 11730397
    Abstract: An apparatus yields signals that are equivalent to ECG signals and allow determination of a heartbeat interval or heart rate from bio-vibration signals including vibrations derived from heartbeats. An ECG meter acquires ECG signals of a sample, and a piezoelectric sensor acquires bio-vibration signals of the sample simultaneously. The bio-vibration signals include beating vibration signals derived from heartbeats. A learning unit of a prediction modeling apparatus establishes a prediction model by machine learning in which ECG signals are used as teaching data, and model input signals obtained by performing a specified processing on the bio-vibration signals are input. The learning unit delivers the prediction model to a prediction unit of a signal processing apparatus. The prediction model predicts and outputs pECG signals upon input of model input signals obtained by performing a specified processing on bio-vibration signals acquired from a subject under prediction with a piezoelectric sensor.

  • Patent number: 11089993
    Abstract: [Problem] To provide means by which sleep states can be measured, observed, or evaluated easily. [Solution] A sleep state measurement device that includes a phase coherence calculating means for calculating phase coherence on the basis of the instantaneous phase difference between the instantaneous phase of heart rate variability acquired from a sleeping animal and the instantaneous phase of the breathing pattern of the animal for the same time series as the heart rate variability.
