Abstract
A device for sleep apnea avoidance and data collection may include a sensor configured to sense a pressure and generate a first signal when the pressure exceeds a threshold. A signal generator module may be configured to generate a first stimulating signal in response to the first signal. The sensed pressure may include a pressure exerted on the sensor when a user of the device lies down on the device. The first stimulating signal may be configured to cause the user to change sleeping position, for example, from a first sleeping position that causes snoring to a second sleeping position that stops snoring.
Claims20
A device for sleep apnea avoidance and data collection, comprising:
- a sensor configured to sense a pressure and generate a first signal when the pressure exceeds a threshold;
- and
- a signal generator module configured to generate a first stimulating signal in response to the first signal, wherein,
- the sensed pressure includes a pressure exerted on the sensor when a user lies down on the device, the user being a user of the device, and
- the first stimulating signal is configured to cause the user to change sleeping position.
A method for sleep apnea avoidance and data collection using a device, the method comprising:
- configuring a sensor to sense a pressure and to generate a first signal when the pressure exceeds a threshold;
- configuring a signal generator module to generate a first stimulating signal in response to the first signal;
- and
- configuring the first stimulating signal to cause the user to change sleeping position, wherein the sensed pressure includes a pressure exerted on the sensor when a user lies down on the device, the user being a user of the device, and the device including the sensor and the signal generator module.
A device for communicating with a sleep apnea avoidance device, the device comprising:
- a communication module configured to wirelessly communicate with the sleep apnea avoidance device;
- and
- an interface module configured to provide one or more user interfaces, wherein the user interfaces are configured to:
- receive user information from a user including a user of the sleep apnea prevention device, the inputs being for communication to the sleep apnea avoidance device;
- and
- display information received from the sleep apnea avoidance device, wherein the sleep apnea avoidance device comprises:
- a sensor configured to sense a pressure and generate a first signal when the pressure exceeds a threshold;
- and
- a signal generator module configured to generate a first stimulating signal in response to the first signal, wherein,
- the sensed pressure includes a pressure exerted on the sensor when a user lies down on the device, the user being a user of the device, and
- the first stimulating signal is configured to cause the user to change sleeping position.
