Tiivistelmä
Recent studies have shown the dramatic effects of snoring on people’s lives. Detection and diagnosis of snoring and other sleep disorder used to depend solely on polysomnography recording which often requires that the patient remain in the hospital or laboratory as the case maybe for several days which is uncomfortable and time-consuming.
Recently Smartphone application software available on the Apple store, Google Play and Windows Phone Store render great benefits for both specialist and patient. These applications have been developed for out patient use and make it possible to avoid inconvenient, time consuming and expensive polysomnography, which can be reserved for critical situations.
This thesis explores various snore detecting application software for Android, Windows and iOS and some of these applications were tested using three different smartphones: HTC Desire, Nokia Lumia, and iPhone 5 respectively at the same time. This aims at determining which application gives better accuracy and on which platform and it also suggests which position is more suitable to place the Smartphone for a more accurate result.
Lastly, the thesis reviews the latest technological innovations in the treatment of snoring as well as possible treatment solutions, and it examines the causes and factors that increase the risk of snoring.
