Estimating the term…
Abstract
A system and method for facilitating adjustment of an oral appliance. Various sensors are attached to a patient so as to measure physiological parameters such as heart rate variability, skin temperature, skin resistance and conductance, etc. These parameters are analyzed while an oral appliance is inserted into a patient. The appliance may be adjusted so as to produce beneficial modifications of these parameters.
Claims20
A method for adjusting an oral appliance comprising:
- inserting an oral appliance into a mouth of a patient;
- monitoring at least one physiological parameter of the patient, wherein the physiological parameter includes at least one of:
- heart rate variability, EKG, skin temperature, skin conductance, heart beats per minute, EMG, oxygen saturation, end tidal CO2, and respiration rate;
- and
- adjusting the oral appliance based on the monitored physiological parameter.
