Sleep Apnea (SA) is one of the most common andimportant part of sleep disorders. Unfortunately, sleep apneamay be going undiagnosed for years, because of the personsunawareness. The common diagnose procedure usuallyrequired an overnight sleep test. During the test, a recording ofmany biosignals, which related to breath, are obtained bypolysomnography machine to detect this syndrome. Themanual process for detecting the sleep Apnea by analysis therecording data is highly cost and time consuming. So, severalworks tried to develop systems that achieve this automatically.This paper proposes a genetic fuzzy approach for detectingApnea/Hypopnea events by using Air flow, thoracic andabdominal respiratory movement signals and Oxygen desaturation as the inputs. Results show efficiently of this approach.
