Patent ID: 8750953

Claim:
A tangible non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising: code configured to cause a processor to analyze a signal to determine a presence of one or more oxygen desaturation patterns, wherein the signal is representative of one or more oxygen saturation values; code configured to cause the processor to determine a value for an integral of the signal if the signal is outside of a predetermined range or threshold; code configured to cause the processor to determine whether the signal is indicative of sleep apnea or another type of desaturation event based at least in part upon both the presence of the one or more oxygen desaturation patterns and the value of the integral; code configured to cause the processor to provide an indication of sleep apnea based at least in part upon the determination that the signal is indicative of sleep apnea; and code configured to cause the processor to provide an indication of another type of desaturation event based at least in part upon the determination that the signal is indicative of another type of desaturation event.
