Resumen:
Sleep science and respiratory engineering as medical subspecialties and
research areas grew up side-by-side with biomedical engineering. The
formation of EMBS in the 1950's and the discovery of REM sleep in the
1950's led to parallel development and interaction of sleep and
biomedical engineering in diagnostics and therapeutics. Over the last 60
years, sleep investigators have relied on biomedical engineering to
home-brew the equipment they used to measure physiology during sleep,
because sensors and automatic sleep analysis and interpretation systems
were too innovative to be available from traditional commercial sources.
The Sleep and Respiratory Engineering and related tracks of EMBC,
between 1988 and 2010, have presented many papers on this topic
including novel techniques of sleep interpretation and new equipment for
diagnostics, portable and ambulatory measurement, monitoring, and
therapeutics. In this research, we summarize the activity at EMBC
related to Sleep and breathing from an historical perspective, showing
the number of publications and special sessions devoted to sleep and
related topics.
