Abstract
In certain aspects, devices and methods for an oral appliance holder that can detect analyte information originating from oral appliances stored in the appliance holder. The analyte information can be derived from found in volatilized compounds detected within the appliance holder. The appliance holder can directly or indirectly communicate with a server that is configured to process the analyte information. The analyte information can be processed to develop a wellness profile.
Claims16
A device for storing an oral appliance, the device comprising:
- an openable container, the openable container having an oral appliance holding portion;
- a processor held within the container;
- a memory module coupled to the processor
- a communication module coupled to the container;
- and
- a sensing module coupled to the appliance holding portion and the processor, the sensing module being configured to generate analyte information, the analyte information being related to presence or non-presence of volatilized compounds emanating from an oral appliance at the appliance holding portion;
- wherein the processor is configured to:
- receive the analyte information from the sensing module;
- generate and store use information at the memory module, the use information comprising at least the analyte information;
- connect the communication module to an external device;
- and
- transmit the use information to the external device.
A server comprising at least one processor, the at least one processor configured to perform a method comprising:
- receiving a record from a first external device, the record comprising at least one event that indicates the presence or non-presence of an oral appliance within an oral appliance holder, wherein the at least one event comprises analyte information of volatilized compounds emanating from the oral appliance;
- correlating the record with a patient's master record;
- and
- updating the patient's master record to include the record.
