A mattress-type non-influencing sleep apnea monitoring system was designed to detect sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (SAHS). The pressure signals generated during sleep on the mattress were collected, and ballistocardiogram (BCG) and respiratory signals were extracted from the original signals. In the experiment, wavelet transform (WT) was used to reduce noise and decompose and reconstruct the signal to eliminate the influence of interference noise, which can directly and accurately separate the BCG signal and respiratory signal.
