SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GENERATING REMINDERS TO USE RESPIRATORY THERAPY SYSTEMS
A system includes a respiratory therapy device, a sensor, and a control system. The respiratory therapy device supplies pressurized air to an airway of a user during a plurality of sleep sessions. The sensor generates data including current data that is associated with a current sleep session of the plurality of sleep sessions and historical data that is associated with one or more prior sleep sessions of the plurality of sleep sessions. The control system includes one or more processors configured to execute machine-readable instructions to: analyze the historical data to determine a behavior pattern associated with the user; analyze the current data to determine a condition of the user interface in relation to the user; and generate an alarm based at least in part on the behavior pattern associated with the user and the condition of the user interface in relation to the user.
WEARABLE DEVICE
A wearable device has a flexible and extendable body configured to encircle a portion of a body of a user, an electronics module with a concave space between two ends, each end attachable to the flexible and extendable body with a flexible retention mount to allow rotation of the flexible and extendable body relative to the electronics module and to transfer tension force from the flexible and extendable body to the electronics module, and a bio-signal sensor disposed on the flexible and extendable body to contact at least part of the body of the user and to receive bio-signals from the user.
Method and device for enhancing memory consolidation
The present invention relates to methods and devices to consolidate memory and/or cognitive functions by monitoring brain rhythms and delivering a stimulus at an appropriate stage of sleep cycle.
Enhancing deep sleep based on information from frontal brain activity monitoring sensors
Typically, high NREM stage N3 sleep detection accuracy is achieved using a frontal electrode referenced to an electrode at a distant location on the head (e.g., the mastoid, or the earlobe). For comfort and design considerations it is more convenient to have active and reference electrodes closely positioned on the frontal region of the head. This configuration, however, significantly attenuates the signal, which degrades sleep stage detection (e.g., N3) performance. The present disclosure describes a deep neural network (DNN) based solution developed to detect sleep using frontal electrodes only. N3 detection is enhanced through post-processing of the soft DNN outputs. Detection of slow-waves and sleep micro-arousals is accomplished using frequency domain thresholds. Volume modulation uses a high-frequency/low-frequency spectral ratio extracted from the frontal signal.
