Strategic research is proposed in the key areas: 1. Innovative sensor technologies and information acquisition; 2. Information processing, fusion, and decision making using Internet of Things (IoT) and Cloud Computing (CC); 3. Optimization and power management, in information and communication technologies (ICT) and Mechatronics contexts. In the short term, technologies will be developed for an innovative wireless, wearable, light, fast, accurate, convenient, and low-cost device for sleep disorder monitoring in a home environment. The long-term objective is to extend the developed technologies to broader applications of health monitoring such as telehealth/telemedicine and homecare. The proposed research, product design, system development, testing, and evaluation all will be carried out in close collaboration with the industrial partner, Clinical Sleep Solutions, who has committed to commercializing the product. Portable devices are commercially available for Level III monitoring (obstructive sleep apnea). The proposed work will lead to a wearable device for Level I monitoring (the gold standard) of a broad range of sleep disorders (including central sleep apnea). The device will be incorporated into a scalable and flexible system framework of IoT, CC, and data mining. The proposed research will address several key issues: 1. Needed sensor technologies and their specifications; commercial availability; what sensors and hardware need to be newly designed and developed; characteristics of the sensor signals; and how is the sensory information acquired; 2. For signals from disparate sensors in different forms, what types of signal processing are needed, to make them consistent and to extract relevant information; appropriate decision making methodologies; how multi-sensor data fusion may be used to improve the decision quality and to diagnose sensor faults; 3. Suitable sensor network at the device level; how is the device powered; best design for the device with regard to both ICT and Mechatronics; design constraints. In view of many practical advantages, the developed technologies will have substantial positive impact on the quality of life, the healthcare industry, and the Canadian economy.

在关键领域提出了战略研究：1。创新的传感器技术和信息获取； 2。使用物联网（IoT）和云计算（CC）的信息处理，融合和决策； 3。在信息和通信技术（ICT）和机电货币环境中的优化和电源管理。在短期内，将开发用于创新的无线，可穿戴，轻巧，快速，准确，方便和低成本设备的技术，用于在家庭环境中监测睡眠障碍。长期目标是将开发的技术扩展到更广泛的健康监测应用，例如远程医疗/远程医疗和家庭护理。拟议的研究，产品设计，系统开发，测试和评估将与致力于商业化产品商业化的工业合作伙伴，临床睡眠解决方案密切合作。便携式设备可用于III级监测（阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停）。拟议的工作将导致可穿戴的设备用于多种睡眠障碍（包括中央睡眠呼吸暂停）的I级监测（金标准）。该设备将被合并到物联网，CC和数据挖掘的可扩展且灵活的系统框架中。拟议的研究将解决几个关键问题：1。所需的传感器技术及其规格；商业可用性；哪些传感器和硬件需要新设计和开发；传感器信号的特征；以及如何获得感官信息； 2。对于不同形式的不同形式传感器的信号，需要哪种类型的信号处理，以使其保持一致并提取相关信息；适当的决策方法；如何使用多传感器数据融合来提高决策质量和诊断传感器故障； 3。设备级别的合适传感器网络；设备如何供电；关于ICT和机电的设备的最佳设计；设计约束。鉴于许多实际的优势，开发的技术将对生活质量，医疗保健行业和加拿大经济产生重大积极影响。
