Abstract
A mobile computing device for performing a sleep study includes a camera, a display, a processor, and a tangible computer readable medium. The tangible computer readable medium includes a sleep study application embodied as code for selectively displaying a request to capture an image of a user of the mobile computing device using the camera. The sleep study application further includes code for, after storage of the image: selectively prompting a data collection module to store data samples generated based on signals generated using at least one of an electromyography sensor connected to the user, an electroencephalography sensor connected to the user, an electrocardiogram sensor connected to the user, and an oxygen saturation sensor connected to the user, an electrooculography sensor connected to the user, a temperature sensor connected to the user, and a pressure sensor connected to the user; and receiving the data samples from the data collection module.
