Aspects of the present disclosure provide methods, apparatuses, and systems for closed-loop sleep protection and/or sleep regulation. According to an aspect, sleep disturbing noises are predicted and a biosignal parameter is measured to dynamically mask predicted disturbing environmental noises in the sleeping environment with active attenuation. Environmental noises in a sleeping environment of a subject are detected, input, or predicted based on historical data of the sleeping environment collected over a period of time. The biosignal parameter is used to determine sleep physiology of a subject. Based on the environmental noises in the sleeping environment and the determined sleep physiology, the noises are predicted to be disturbing or non-disturbing noises. For predicted disturbing noises, one or more actions are taken to regulate sleep and avoid sleep disruption by using sound masking prior to or concurrently with the occurrence of the predicted disturbing noises.

A method of providing sensory stimulation to a user is described. The method includes alternating sensory stimulation between a first sensory stimulation including simultaneously providing a left visual stimulus pattern to a left eye and a right auditory stimulus pattern to the right side of a head and a second sensory stimulation including simultaneously providing a right visual stimulus pattern to a right eye and a left auditory stimulus pattern to the left side of the head. The first sensory stimulation and the second sensory stimulation each include a first stimulus pattern having a first pulse frequency, a second stimulus pattern having a second pulse frequency less than the first pulse frequency, and a third stimulus pattern having a third pulse frequency less than the second pulse frequency. One of the first pulse frequency, the second pulse frequency, or the third pulse frequency is between approximately 6 Hz and 9 Hz.

A method and a system for determining the amount of oxygen required by a user with respiratory problems are disclosed. First data about several users with respiratory problems is stored in a database. The method a) collects second data from a monitored user while (s)he is performing a test at a first location; b) computes a user’s behavioral model executing a first algorithm on the first and second data; c) collects, every period of time t1, third data of the user while (s)he is performing an activity at a second location; d) adjusts, every period of time t2, the computed user’s behavioral model using the first algorithm, providing a customized user’s behavioral model as a result; and e) computes an estimator of the quantity of oxygen to be delivered to the user by executing a second algorithm on the customized user’s behavioral model.

A drug overdose detection apparatus that is configured to measure the blood oxygen level of a user and upon detection in a drop thereof provide administration of a substance to counteract the drug overdose. The present invention includes a housing that is configured to be worn by a user has an interior volume. Disposed in the interior volume of the housing is a substance administration assembly wherein the substance administration assembly includes a syringe member, a plunger member and a plunger driver. A motor is operably coupled to the plunger driver and facilitates movement thereof. A spring needle assembly is operably coupled to the substance administration assembly and includes a spring biased needle that is operable to inject into a patient so as to inject the substance. The present invention further includes an audio alarm and transceiver configured to provide alerts and transmit signals.

An apparatus for pressurizing one or more airways of a user, including: a dental arch mold configured to receive a plurality of teeth, a port which may be at a front face of the dental arch mold, a first nasal pillow, a second nasal pillow, a multi-output air regulator, and a plurality of sensors. The multi-output air regulator and sensors allow the airway pressurization device to sense the pressures in as well as be in independent fluid communication with the port of the dental arch, the first nasal pillow, and the second nasal pillow, such that an equalization of pressures, or a determined pressure differential between each may be obtained.

An audio system adapted to provide an auditory stimulation for inducing neural oscillations in a user during sleep.

A method includes applying, via a respiratory therapy system, initial therapy settings for a user during a first sleep session in which the user uses the respiratory therapy system. First physiological data, which is received from one or more sensors, is generated during the first sleep session. Modified therapy settings are applied, via the respiratory therapy system, during a second sleep session of the user. Second physiological data is received from the one or more sensors. The second physiological data is generated by the one or more sensors during the second sleep session. A set of sleep-related parameters is determined based on changes between the first physiological data and the second physiological data. One or more of a recommended therapy or recommended therapy settings is determined based on the set of sleep-related parameters.

A system that enables remote adjustment of oxygen flow from an oxygen source includes a gas source device fluidly coupled to a gas source, a remote delivery device with an outlet for providing gas to a user and an inlet fluidly coupled to an outlet of the gas source device, wherein the gas source device has a control system. The control system determines a current control setting of the remote delivery device based on pneumatic feedback from the remote delivery device and modifies a pressure of gas flowing from the gas source device to the remote delivery device based on the current control setting of the remote delivery device, so that a target flow volume of supply gas associated with the current control setting is delivered to the inlet.
