摘要:
An electrode configured to provide electrical contact with skin of a subject is provided. The electrode includes an electrode body configured to be removably coupled with the skin of the subject and to receive electrical signals from and/or transmit electrical signals to the skin of the subject, and an electrical coupling that facilitates coupling the electrode to an external computing system. The electrode body includes a conductive silicone material configured to enable uptake or diffusion of moisture from the skin of the subject over which the electrode body is disposed; and a detergent configured to facilitate a flow of ions through the conductive silicone material.
摘要:
A sensor device in the form of a patient interface has a sensor arrangement for determining a degree of fitting of a contact surface to the patient. This enables design parameters for a customised patient interface to be determined or else fitting adjustments to be made, based on how well the customisation sensor device fits the patient.

The present invention relates to a patient interface device (10) comprising a sealing assembly (12) for delivering a flow of breathable gas to a patient (16),an attachment assembly (14) for attaching the sealing assembly (12) to a patient's face (18) and a force limitation unit (26)for limiting a force between the patient interface device(10) and the patient's face (18) to a maximum force when the patient interface device (10) is applied to the patient (16), the force limitation unit (26) comprising a first and a second coupling element (27, 28) constituting a self-releasing force-fitted coupling for transmitting the force from the first to the second coupling element (27, 28) and for interrupting the force-fit between said two coupling elements (27, 28) when the force exceeds the maximum force.
摘要:
A system and method that adapts how an audio output is generated based on a response of a subject's sleep parameters to the audio output. In particular, one or more rules used to generate the audio output are modified in response to how values of sleep parameters (i.e. parameters responsive to a sleep state of the subject) change in response to the audio output. The audio output can be iteratively modified to assess the impact of different audio outputs.
摘要:
The present disclosure pertains to a system and method for managing a sleep session of a subject. Managing the sleep session is based on slow wave activity in the subject during the sleep session. Slow wave activity is related to sleep pressure. Sleep pressure dissipates and/or decreases as the subject sleeps. The dissipation dynamics depend on a given subject. The manner in which dissipation occurs regulates the length of the given sleep session and is linked to the temporal dynamics of slow wave activity. The system is configured to determine a metric indicating sleep pressure dissipation and, responsive to the determined sleep pressure dissipation metric indicating that sleep pressure dissipation has reached a dissipation threshold level during the sleep session, wake the subject.
摘要:
Systems and methods to detect sleep stages of a subject analyze physiological parameters of the subject in combination with a subject's reactions to stimuli of increasing intensity and/or stimuli having different modalities. Stimuli are provided until a predetermined level of probability is reached for the accuracy of an estimation of the sleep stage of the subject.
