Funded Activity Summary

Investigations into and development of an intelligent decision support system for general practitioners in home-based sleep disorder diagnosis. Sleep disorders cost the Australian health system an estimated $40 million per year. General practitioner's surgeries are not well equipped to deal with diagnosis and the majority of the referrals to specialists are unnecessary. This research will investigate and develop an intelligent decision support system to provide a cost effective solution to this problem. The developed software application will enable sleep study to be carried out at home, enabling general practitioners to conduct a preliminary diagnosis. Benefits include a reduction in the costs incurred in travel, time off work and at hospital sleep care centres for people in remote areas.
