Abstract
An apparatus for monitoring a sleep parameter of a user includes an adhesive pad configured to conform to a surface of the user and a flexible element coupled to the adhesive pad. The flexible element includes a conductive fabric, and exhibits a modified electrical property in response to an applied force. The apparatus also includes a power source electrically coupled to the flexible element, and an electrical circuit electrically coupled to the power source and the flexible conductive element. The electrical circuit is configured to detect, during use, a change in an electrical property of the flexible element.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- an adhesive pad configured to conform to a surface of a user;
- an optical sensor assembly coupled to the adhesive pad, the optical sensor assembly including a light source configured to emit light toward the surface of the user, and a photodetector configured to detect reflected light from the surface of the user;
- a power source electrically coupled to the optical sensor;
- and
- an electrical circuit electrically coupled to the power source and the optical sensor,
- the apparatus configured to determine, during use and using the optical sensor assembly, a respiratory effort exerted by the user.
