ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AS A MONITORING STRATEGY FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA TREATED WITH POSITIVE AIRWAY PRESSURE – A PROPOSAL TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEM IN THE STATE OF CEARA

Resumo

Abstract: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by recurrent episodes of partial or total upper airway obstruction, with interruptions of the sleep cycle, often associated with intermittent hypoxic/hypercapnic stress. The prevalence of OSA is high and is strongly associated with cerebrovascular and cardiovascular events. Its gold standard treatment is performed through the application of positive airway pressure. This treatment, when properly instituted, is cost-effective. In the State of Ceara, four sleep-specialized services assist and follow patients undergoing treatment with positive airway pressure. The positive pressure equipment used for the treatment is provided to patients through the State Health Department. Objective: To develop a system that is applied to the public health system (SUS - Sistema Único de Saúde) for the management and monitoring of positive airway pressure users who are followed up in specialized sleep services and, from this product, generate a bigdata that allows offering solutions in the sphere of management, clinical follow-up and science based on information generated by artificial intelligence models. Methods: The developed system uses cloud computing techniques to interact with the user through conventional browsers and the acquired data are stored in the cloud, forming a bigdata. Artificial intelligence techniques will be used to extract information that enhances the treatment of patients with OSA, both individually and collectively. Partial results: The platform is under construction, based on the research of the necessary variables and constructs. An entity-relationship diagram was produced and integrated into the construction process. The combined variables for the artificial intelligence strategy are in the adjustment phase. It is expected that the developed program will make it possible to expand the follow-up of patients followed up in specialized sleep services, enabling better communication between services from the public health system, as well as providing information on the effectiveness of therapy to the State.
