A Deep Learning-Based Approach for the Recognition of Sleep Disorders in Patients with Cognitive Diseases: A Case Study

Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia. Patients suffer from of this kind of disease could show symptoms such as sleep disturbances, muscle rigidity or other typical Alzheimer's movement irregularities. In our work, we have focused on those types of disturbances related to sleep disorders. Due to their not well-known nature, it is difficult to develop software able to identify sleep disorders. In this work, we have addressed the problem of the automatic recognition of sleep disorders in patients with Alzheimer's disease by using deep learning algorithms
