    Abstract: Systems, methods and devices for diagnosing sleep apnea are provided herein. In one example, a device for detecting airway obstructions may be provided where the device may include a wearable hollow nasal tube to be positioned in an upper airway above a constriction point and an end imaging sensor coupled to the nasal tube to collect airway image data. The device further may include a controller and communication interface to communicatively link and relay airway image data to a select remote device to determine airway obstructions. In some examples, a method may be provided including receiving airway image data from a remote end imaging sensor coupled to a nasal tube disposed within an upper airway above a constriction point, and analyzing the airway image data and displaying in a sleep study report the airway image data to identify airway closures related to obstructive sleep apnea.

    Abstract: An oral scope instrument for facilitating visual examination and inspection of a person's oral cavity and upper airway includes an elongate, flexible arm having first and second ends, a temperature sensor connected to the flexible arm adjacent the first end, an image sensor mounted adjacent the second end, a processor in electrical communication with the image sensor and an image display device. An illumination unit located adjacent the second end provides illumination for the image sensor. A handle connected to the first end enables manual insertion of the flexible arm into the mouth along a portion of the top of the tongue to engage the temperature sensor therewith and position the image sensor for viewing and recording anatomical features of the oral cavity or the upper airway. The processor stores normal anatomical images and may transmit images of recorded anatomical features to the image display device.
