Sleep pattern optimization
Systems methods are described for modifying sleep patterns based on biofeedback. The method may include identifying a target sleep pattern from a plurality of candidate sleep patterns, receiving biofeedback information from a user, identifying a stimulus pattern based on the target sleep pattern and the biofeedback information, and providing at least one stimulus to the user based on the stimulus pattern.
USER INTERFACE WITH INTEGRATED SENSORS
A user interface of a respiratory therapy system includes a strap assembly, a frame, a connector, and a sensor. The strap assembly is positioned about a head of a user when the user wears the user interface. The frame is physically and electrically connected to the strap assembly, and defines an aperture. The connector has a first end portion and second end portion. The first end portion of the connector can be positioned within the aperture of the frame such that the connector is physically and electrically connected to the frame. The sensor is coupled to the strap assembly or the frame such that the sensor abuts a target area of the user when the user wears the user interface.
VISUALIZING PHYSIOLOGIC DATA OBTAINED FROM SUBJECTS
An apparatus comprises at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory. The at least one processing device is configured to select physiologic data to be visualized, the selected physiologic data comprising a given set of one or more physiologic parameters collected from a given set of one or more subjects over a given period of time. The at least one processing device is also configured to determine a plot type for visualization of the selected physiologic data, the plot type being determined based at least in part on a repetitiveness of the selected physiologic data over a plurality of time segments in the given period of time. The at least one processing device is further configured to generate a visualization of the selected physiologic data utilizing the determined plot type, and to output the generated visualization of the selected physiologic data via an interactive graphical user interface.

Sleep tracking systems and techniques for monitoring two or more co-sleepers in a single bed are disclosed. Such systems and techniques may incorporate sleeper identification, as well as various non-user-specific aspects. Some implementations may incorporate user-specific or user-tailored alarm functionality.
METHOD AND SYSTEM OF SLEEP MAINTENANCE
A method and system of sleep maintenance includes configuring a stimulation device comprising a transducer to emit a transcutaneous vibratory output to a body part of a subject, receiving physiological data of the subject from at least one sensor at a processor, providing a stimulation pattern for the transcutaneous vibratory output to be emitted by the transducer, the stimulation pattern comprising a perceived pitch, a perceived beat, and an intensity of the transcutaneous vibratory output, causing the transducer to emit the transcutaneous vibratory output in the stimulation pattern, determining a sleep state of the subject based on the physiological data, and altering the stimulation pattern based on the sleep state, wherein altering comprises at least one of (i) reducing a frequency of the perceived pitch, (ii) increasing an interval of the perceived beat, or (iii) reducing the intensity.
Systems, methods, and devices for measurement, identification, and generation of sleep state models
Provided are systems, methods, and devices for measurement, identification, and generation of sleep state models. Systems include a plurality of electrodes configured to be coupled to a brain of a user and configured to obtain a plurality of measurements from the brain of the user, and an interface configured to obtain the plurality of measurements from the plurality of electrodes. Systems include a processing device comprising one or more processors configured to generate a sleep state model associated with the user, the sleep state model identifying characteristics of a plurality of sleep stages, and further identifying characteristics of transitions between the plurality of sleep stages. Systems include a controller comprising one or more processors configured to generate a control signal based on the sleep state model and the plurality of measurements.
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.
METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR OPTIMIZING THERAPY USING STIMULATION MIMICKING NATURAL SEIZURES
Systems, methods, and devices for automatic generation of a stimulation therapy that mimics electrographic activity in the brain at natural seizure termination define a stimulation therapy to be generated by an implanted component of a medical device system and delivered to a subject through identifying data characterizing a patient's seizures, especially at termination. A machine learning model identifies the seizures or seizure types from which to establish a canonical seizure or seizure type, and an algorithm translates the canonical seizure or seizure type into data that can be used to characterize a stimulation therapy. The systems, methods, and devices, include those configured to deliver the stimulation therapy that emulates the canonical seizure or seizure type when the seizure is detected, with the aim of terminating the seizure sooner than it would terminate without intervention.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TRANSDERMAL ELECTRICAL STIMULATION TO IMPROVE SLEEP
Methods and apparatuses for improving sleep by transdermal electrical stimulation (TES). In general, described herein are methods for applying TES to a subject, and particularly the subject's head (e.g., temple/forehead region) and/or neck with an TES waveform adapted to improve sleep, including reducing sleep onset (falling to sleep) more quickly and/or lengthening the duration of sleep. TES waveform(s) particularly well suited to enhancing sleep are also described herein.
SOUND SOURCE CONTROL DEVICE AND SOUND SOURCE CONTROL METHOD
For the purpose of improving sleep satisfaction for different human subjects individually, a sound source control device (20) includes: an acquirer (202) configured to acquire a biorhythm of a human subject; an estimator (204) configured to estimate sleep depths of the human subject from the acquired biorhythm of the human subject; a controller (230) configured to control a sound source (240) to play a sound in accordance with the acquired biorhythm of the human subject, the sound being defined using a prescribed parameter set; and an evaluator (220) configured to evaluate a sleep state of the human subject based on the estimated sleep depths of the human subject, and based on the evaluation, instruct the controller (230) to change at least a part of contents of the parameter set.
