Abstract

This study uses a One-Dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (1D-CNN) and deep learning to identify obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) from electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. The PhysioNet Apnea-ECG database's ECG recordings were divided into 60-s segments and categorized as either apnea or non-apnea. With 91.4% precision, 92.1% recall, 91.7 F1-score, and an AUC-ROC of 0.95, the 1D-CNN model, which was trained with balanced class weights and optimal hyperparameters, obtained a classification accuracy of 93.6%. Model development, evaluation, and preprocessing were all done with MATLAB. This method improves scalability and lowers preprocessing overhead by automatically learning characteristics from raw ECG data, in contrast to previous approaches that require manual feature extraction. For the early diagnosis of OSA, the suggested method provides a non-invasive, effective, and precise substitute for polysomnography. It has the potential to be integrated into wearable technology for ongoing home surveillance because of its near real-time inference capabilities.
