Ce système comprend des moyens de commande (18) produisant des signaux de commande de stimulation en réponse à la détection d'un trouble respiratoire, au moins un effecteur kinesthésique (20) avec un transducteur électromécanique vibrant appliqué sur un site cutané externe du patient pour délivrer une énergie de stimulation kinesthésique déterminée par lesdits signaux de commande, et des moyens (12, 14, 16) pour déterminer l'efficacité d'une stimulation, aptes à détecter la disparition du trouble respiratoire. Des moyens (22) de détermination de traitement sélectionnent une stratégie de stimulation parmi plusieurs en fonction d'un type de trouble attendu ou détecté.

In some embodiments, a method may include clearing a biological airway. The method may include positioning an inner wearable harness on a torso of a subject. The method may include selectively positioning at least some of a plurality of engines on and/or adjacent at least one treatment area. At least one of the plurality of engines may be releasably couplable to the inner wearable harness. The method may include positioning an outer wearable harness on a torso of a subject. The method may include applying an oscillation force to at least one of the treatment areas using at least some of the plurality of engines. The method may include adjusting the applied oscillation force to the treatment area by activating the outer wearable harness. The method may include mobilizing at least some secretions in an airway within the subject substantially adjacent the at least one treatment area.

Method and device for diagnosing and/or treating sleep apnea and related sleep disorders, such as snoring and respiratory effort-related arousals, includes an inflatable implement which is applied to the external surface of the chest and/or abdomen (Vest). Pressure is caused to rise to a predetermined positive value. The rate of airflow into and/or out of said Vest is monitored, whereby the Vest Flow is displayed or processed to obtain information about the breathing characteristics of the patient.

Resuscitation device for humans comprising: - a sensor for detecting a number of parameter values in a human being; - at least one memory for storing a predetermined function and a number of detected parameter values; - at least one processing unit connected with the sensor and the memory for processing the number of detected parameter values in the predetermined function to determine whether the human being is in a state of developing apnoea; - a response device connected with the processing unit for providing a response as a function of the number of processed parameter values by the at least one processing unit when the at least one processing unit has determined that the human being is in the state of developing apnoea. The resuscitation device is an apparatus comprising both the sensor, the memory, the at least one processing unit and the response device, the apparatus being arranged to be attached under a human's nose, the sensor being arranged to sense breathing activity, and the response device comprising a stimulation device designed to provoke an induced aspiration reflex by a resuscitating stimulation of the respiratory area of the human brain stem by providing a stimulus to a nasal filter of the human being.
摘要:
The invention concerns a vibrotactile stimulation device (1) intended to be applied against a body medium (MC) to be stimulated, produced in the form of a functional unit, comprising a vibrating effector (10) suitable for applying, to said medium, pulses of mechanical vibrational energy, and means (130) for controlling the effector according to stimulation rules. The device is remarkable in that the functional unit further houses a first electrode (E1) suitable for cooperating with at least one second electrode (E2, E3) separated from the first electrode in order to supply signals representative of a cardiac activity and a muscular activity on the medium to be stimulated, said control means (130) being sensitive to cardiac activity and muscular activity signals in order to influence the stimulation. Application in particular to body stimulation in combating sleep apnoea, with improved detection.

An electronic snore-ceasing device comprising an electroic snore-ceasing device body (1) and a working module (2), the electronic snore-ceasing device body (1) comprises an ear-hook (11) and an ear plug (12) jointed together with the ear-hook (11), the working module (2) is located inside the ear-hook (11) and the ear plug (12); the working module (2) comprises a snore collecting circuit (21), a control circuit (22) taking a MCU as a core thereof, a warning circuit (23), and a power supply circuit (24); when the control circuit (22) determines that a received sound signal and vibration signal reach their respective threshold values, the control circuit (22) transmitts a control signal to the warning circuit (23) located inside the ear plug (12), thereby activating the warning circuit (23) to generate a sound stimulation signal, a vibration stimulation signal or an electrode stimulation signal that does not wake the user up in sleep to suppress snores. A low power consumption electric circuit is adopted in the electronic snore-ceasing device for detecting snores of the patient in real-time, snores of the patient and vibrations caused by snores of the patient can be collected accurately, meanwhile, stimulation effects can be monitored in real-time, thereby achieving an effect of snore-ceasing, so that the snore patient can get a high sleep quality.
摘要:
Le dispositif comprend des moyens de mesure d'activité respiratoire et de détection (20) d'un évènement de chute du débit ventilatoire en deçà d'un seuil prédéterminé. Des moyens discriminateurs (22, 40, 50, 70, 80, 90, 100, 102) analysent en temps réel divers paramètres de cet évènement et déterminent s'ils vérifient des critères prédéfinis, de manière à attribuer ou non à l'évènement un indicateur de suspicion a priori d'hypopnée. Une thérapie anti-hypopnée (28) est déclenchée sélectivement dès la détection de la chute respiratoire, mais seulement en cas d'évènement courant indiquant une suspicion a priori d'hypopnée. Les critères peuvent comprendre : historique des intervalles entre évènements successifs constitutifs d'épisodes d'hypopnées ; sévérité de l'évènement courant ; conformité d'un profil de l'évènement courant avec un profil de référence ; origine physiologique, obstructive ou centrale, de l'évènement ; stade de sommeil courant du patient ; et historique du degré d'efficacité des thérapies appliquées.
