"Sleep-disordered breathing is a global health problem affecting one in five adults, and has broad implications in other chronic conditions, such as hypertension and cardiac arrest," says Professor de Chazal.

In fact, sleep, diet and exercise are widely considered the three pillars of physical well-being, with poor sleep associated with a number of public health issues including obesity and congestive heart failure. Sleep is very difficult to currently monitor due to the inconvenience to the patient of accurate monitoring systems.

Professor Philip de Chazal researches ways of monitoring sleep that are both highly accurate and minimally invasive, enabling physicians to monitor sleep parameters and improve the management of significant health issues.
