Systems and methods for tongue-palate pressure measurement

A tongue-palate pressure sensing device configured to engage at least a portion of a labial surface and at least a portion of a lingual surface of one or more of a user's teeth, and at least a portion of said user's palate, the device comprising;

• a body, the body having first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, the body being capable of being plastically deformed by an application of a pressure of between 3 pounds per square inch and 5 pounds per square inch at a deformation temperature between 38° C. and 100° C. and incapable of being plastically deformed by an application of between 3 pounds per square inch and 5 pounds per square inch below a rigid temperature of 38° C., the body having a thickness between the first surface and second surface, the body having a tooth region configured to interact with a user's teeth, the body shaped to wrap around at least said portion of a labial surface and at least said portion of a lingual surface of one or more of said user's teeth and extend back onto said portion of said user's palate;
• a pressure sensor connected to the body;
• and
• a communication module in data communication with the pressure sensor.

A tongue-palate pressure sensing device, the device comprising;

• a body, the body having first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, the body having a thickness between the first surface and second surface no greater than 2 millimeters;
• a sensor connected to the body, the sensor including both a pressure sensor and a temperature sensor, the sensor having a thickness of no greater than 2 millimeters such that a total thickness including the thickness of the body and the sensor thickness of no greater than 4 millimeters, the sensor capable of measuring pressure applied to the sensor as low as 0.20 kilopascal, and the sensor capable of operating with less than 5% drift for at least 10 minutes, the body being capable of being plastically deformed by an application of a pressure of between 3 pounds per square inch and 5 pounds per square inch at a deformation temperature between 38° C. and 100° C. and incapable of being plastically deformed by an application of between 3 pounds per square inch and 5 pounds per square inch below a rigid temperature of 38° C.;
• and
• a communication module in data communication with the sensor;
• and
• at least one conduit providing data communication between the sensor and the communication module, wherein the at least one conduit is positioned in a recess between two of said user's teeth.
