ARTISANA

When you analyze your recordings with the new sleep apnea software ARTISANA, you‘ll get very high-level results. The quality of the analysis has been validated by a multi-center study* which was conducted in six renowned sleep labs in Europe.

Multi-center study*

The multi-center study guarantees that ARTISANA will analyze your recordings with quality comparable to that of the leading European sleep labs (in Barcelona, Berlin, Grenoble, Göteborg, Palermo, Turku).

ARTISANA stands for Artificial Intelligence in Sleep Analysis. The software, based on neuronal network technology, was implemented with the help of leading sleep medicine experts.

Because ARTISANA mimics human thought processes, it can be certain or uncertain about its decisions. By making its "self-evaluation" available, ARTISANA allows the user to concentrate on the phases of the recording in which the system was uncertain, perhaps because the signal contained artefacts.

ARTISANA lets the user see and understand why it made a decision about a particular sleep stage. The user can follow the reasoning or correct the decision if he draws a different conclusion from the raw data.

The new sleep apnea software ARTISANA is available as a component of the proven Weinmann PSG system SOMNOlab since autumn 2006. ARTISANA analyzes data from SOMNOlab, SOMNOcheck 2 R & K and SOMNOcheck 2.
