SleepMon 2015 - International Workshop on Non-Invasive Monitoring Technologies for Sleep Disorder Assessment

This workshop aims to attract an interdisciplinary group of researchers who are involved
in research related to sleep disorder detection, assessment, monitoring and treatment,
focusing on novel technologies that aim to make sleep pattern analysis tools more
accessible, less invasive and less expensive. The researchers will present their work
and receive feedback from their peers. As part of the larger theme of the PETRA
conference, the participants will also have the opportunity to interact with top scientists
working with pervasive assistive technologies to exchange valuable ideas that could
advance the state-of-the-art in the field.
This workshop invites contributions that seek to advance the current standards in sleep
monitoring by taking advantage of new sensing devices that can effectively and noninvasively
collect biosignals and behavioral sleep data, as well as methods and tools for
more efficient and automated data analysis.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Non-invasive sensing devices for biosignal data acquisition
Method and tools for biosignal data analysis? Audio and video-based methods for sleep pattern monitoring
Methods and tools for sleep disorder detection
Devices for in-home sleep monitoring
Multi-source data fusion methods for sleep-related decision making
Sensor data stream fusion, feature extraction and pattern analysis
Usability issues of sleep monitoring devices
Data privacy concerns in sleep monitoring
Methods and tools for sleep disorder treatment
Use of mobile devices for sleep monitoring
Automatic detection of events of interest during sleep
Machine learning and data mining tools for sleep disorder-related decision making
Methods for evaluating the effect of sleep disorders on daily activities
