A dental veneer is provided herein for supplying identification information. The dental veneer includes circuitry, memory, and an antenna. The circuitry reads and/or writes the identification information to the memory and causes the antenna to transmit the identification information.

An oral appliance for treating sleep apnea in a user includes a mouthpiece configured for being positioned in an oral cavity of the user, and at least one pulse oximeter attached to the mouthpiece. According to an aspect, the pulse oximeter is configured to monitor actual oxygen saturation levels of hemoglobin of the user when the oral appliance is positioned in the oral cavity of the user. The oral appliance may include an additional sensor attached to the mouthpiece that includes at least one of an airflow sensor, a pressure sensor, a noise detector, and an actigraphy sensor.

A device for the treatment of snoring is provided. The device may include a flexible substrate configured for removable attachment to a subject's skin, a primary antenna disposed on the flexible substrate, an interface configured to receive a feedback signal that varies based upon a breathing pattern of the subject; and at least one processing device. The processing device may be configured to analyze the feedback signal and determine whether the subject is snoring based on the analysis of the feedback signal, and if snoring is detected, cause a hypoglossal nerve modulation control signal to be applied to the primary antenna in order to wirelessly transmit the hypoglossal nerve modulation control signal to a secondary antenna associated with an implant unit configured for location in a body of the subject.

A detection device for active dental caries and/or tooth erosion, comprising a light detection means, fluid dispensing means, and an atomiser, wherein the fluid dispensing means and atomiser are in fluid communication such that a disclosing fluid contained within the fluid dispensing means is dispensed through the atomiser evenly onto a surface of interest.

The present disclosure generally provides oral inserts useful for determining forces experienced by a user, such as a human user, to the head, for example, by measuring one or more of acceleration, velocity, displacement, or rotation. In some aspects, the disclosure provides oral inserts that, when worn properly by a human user, calculate the forces experienced by the user's head with high accuracy. In some aspects, the disclosure provides systems for detecting and calculating forces experienced by the user's head and to determine whether such forces are above a certain threshold indicative of increased concussion risk. In some aspects, the disclosure provides methods for calculating forces experienced by the user's head and determining whether such forces are above a certain threshold indicative of concussion.

A teething apparatus includes a water-resistant housing containing a controller and a power source and communication means and a plurality of sensors in communication with the surface of the housing arranged and configured to detect at least pH and at least one volatile organic compound. Each of the plurality of sensors is in data communication with the controller and the controller is capable of communication with an external device via communication means. The apparatus may be a component of a larger system and may be used in a method including the steps of providing a teething apparatus to an oral cavity of an infant, establishing a data connection between the teething apparatus and a remote device, and relaying information from the teething apparatus to the remote device, the information comprising the qualitative measurement of one or more volatile organic compounds and the quantitative value of pH in the oral cavity.

An apparatus for testing for streptococcal pharyngitis includes a tube having an open first end and a second end, and an opening on a side thereof, a dipstick inserted into the tube through the side opening, and an insert with a hole that can receive the dipstick and sized to nest the dipstick into the side opening of the tube. A swab at the end of the dipstick inside the tube receives microbes in a breath exhaled by a patient holding the first end of the tube to the patient's mouth. After being exhaled upon by the patient, the dipstick is removed for testing for the presence of microbes that cause streptococcal pharyngitis.

An intraoral monitoring device includes a plurality of sensors integrated on a flexible substrate. The plurality of sensors includes first and second photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors. The first PPG sensor is coupled along an anterior portion of the flexible substrate and adapted to be located intraorally along a first anatomical location defined along a mid-line of a maxilla, facing the labial mucosa, directly at a septal branch of a superior labial artery in a front lip to consistently provide a plurality of first PPG signal, relating to a plurality of cardiorespiratory parameters. Further, the second PPG sensor is coupled to a rear portion of the flexible substrate, adapted to be located intraorally along a second anatomical location defined along the interior part of an oral cavity facing outward toward the labial mucosa to consistently provide a plurality of second PPG signals, relating to a plurality of muscular parameters.

The present disclosure provides generally for a therapeutic oral device for assessing one or more health aspects of a user and/or alleviating one or more health conditions of a user, and associated methods for using the device. According to the present disclosure, the device may comprise a hard palate portion, a mouth guard portion, and a tongue retainer portion. The hard palate portion may comprise one or more materials. The hard palate portion may also comprise a composite of materials, including but not limited to one or more embedded materials. The mouth guard portion may comprise one or more components that provide stability and maintain the position of the therapeutic oral device within the mouth of a user. The tongue retainer portion may comprise an airway and a predetermined length. In some embodiments, the therapeutic oral appliance may comprise one or more electronic components that may be configured to interface with at least one external device. In some aspects, the therapeutic oral appliance may comprise one or more sensors and/or one or more electrodes

A breath capturing device including a body having an internal reservoir, an inlet, a first outlet, and a second outlet. A first pathway extends between the inlet and the reservoir, a second pathway extends between the reservoir and the first outlet, and a third pathway extends between the reservoir and the second outlet. A first valve is positioned within the first pathway and is configured to restrict flow therealong to flow from the inlet to the reservoir above a first pressure. A second valve is positioned within the second pathway and is configured to restrict flow therealong to flow from the reservoir to the first outlet above a second pressure greater than the first pressure. A third valve is positioned within the third pathway and is selectively transitional between an open and closed configurations to selectively retrieve fluid from the reservoir.
