Phone Oximeter Recordings for Pediatric Sleep Apnea Screening

Ainara Garde provides 147 CSV files containing physiological signals from a phone oximeter for screening sleep disordered breathing in children. The dataset includes 146 subject files with pleth and SpO2 time-series signals and one file with Apnea/Hypopnea Index (AHI) labels. The pleth signal was sampled at 62.5 Hz and the SpO2 signal at 1 Hz.

Use Cases

• Developing classification models for sleep apnea severity based on labeled Apnea/Hypopnea Index (AHI) values.
• Analyzing plethysmography (pleth) signal patterns for respiratory event detection.
• Investigating the relationship between oxygen saturation (SpO2) dips and sleep disordered breathing events.
• Building time-series feature extraction pipelines for low-frequency physiological monitoring data.

Strengths

• Contains 146 individual subject recordings, providing a multi-subject basis for analysis.
• Includes ground truth labels in the form of Apnea/Hypopnea Index (AHI) values for each subject.
• Specifies precise sampling rates for the pleth (62.5 Hz) and SpO2 (1 Hz) signals.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count, file size, and last update date are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect temporal or demographic bias inherent to the specific research study.
