Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method and a system for examining respiratory disorders whereby signals coming from the examined person are recorded by a wireless sensor equipped with a microphone and an accelerometer and then sent to a monitoring station. The monitoring station receives a digital data stream from the wireless sensor, cuts out respiratory episodes from the signal and, using a classification assembly constructed from three independent detection modules, classifies a respiratory episode as being normal or as snoring as well as determines the occurrence of apnoea.
