  • Publication number: 20240046461
    Abstract: A system and method to determine a sleep disorder in a patient is disclosed. A storage device stores a digital image including a face and a neck of the patient. A database stores previously identified phenotypes and dimensions of facial and neck features. A sleep disorder analysis engine is coupled to the storage device and the database. The sleep disorder analysis engine is operable to identify features of the face and the neck from the image by determining landmarks on the image. The sleep disorder analysis engine classifies at least one phenotype from the image based on comparisons with the database. The sleep disorder analysis engine correlates the at least one phenotype and at least one feature with a sleep disorder. The sleep disorder analysis engine determines a risk score of the sleep disorder based on the correlation of the phenotype and the feature.
