Abstract

Sleep disorders are problems that affect a significant portion of so- ciety and their diagnosis is usually conditioned by the use of the laboratory polysomnography method. However, this is a costly, inconvenient and cumber- some technique to the patient during the screening process. In this sense, the present article presents a low-cost developmental device for monitoring in-situ and noninvasive sleep, designed under the Design Science Research Methodo- logy, which collects the variables of the rest environment, since these aspects have crucial influence on the quality of sleep.
