Publication number: 20240046461Abstract: 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.
