Systems and methods for adjusting a user's circadian rhythm are described. In some embodiments, a system may include one or more input modules for collecting data, a light source, a processor system including one or more processors that controls the light source, and a memory system storing one or more machine instructions. The system may be configured to obtain light sensitivity data for a user, compare the user's light sensitivity data against calibration data, and based on at least the light sensitivity data and the calibration data, generate instructions for activating the light source to adjust the user's circadian rhythm.

Systems and/or methods for assessing the sleep quality of a patient in a sleep session are provided. Data is collected from the patient and/or physician including, for example, sleep session data in the form of one or more physiological parameters of the patient indicative of the patient's sleep quality during the sleep session, a subjective evaluation of sleep quality, etc.; patient profile data; etc. A sleep quality index algorithm, which optionally may be an adaptive algorithm, is applied, taking into account some or all of the collected data. Sleep quality data may be presented to at least the patient, and it may be displayed in any suitable format (e.g., a format useful for the patient to be appraised on the progress of the treatment, a format useful for a sleep clinician to monitor progress and/or assess the effectiveness of differing treatment regimens, etc).

A method of managing pain provides sensory stimuli to a person. The sensor stimuli include visual and/or auditory stimuli which are pulsed at the rate of various types of brain waves. The method is applicable for treating nociceptive or neuropathic pain and/or for improving the person's tolerance for pain. Treatment is provided for approximately 15 minutes using a portable headset.

Systems and methods for adjusting a user's circadian rhythm are provided. In some embodiments, a system may be configured to obtain information relating to the user's present circadian rhythm and information relating to one or more anticipated times of sleep and/or wakefulness. The system may generate a model for estimating the user's circadian rhythm. The system may also generate a model for estimating the user's homeostatic sleep drive. Based on one or both models, the system may generate instructions for activating the light source to adjust the user's circadian rhythm.

The present disclosure pertains to shortening sleep latency during the wake to sleep transition. Sensory stimulation is delivered to a subject by sensory stimulators during a sleep session, and a measure of wakefulness of the subject is determined. The sensory stimulators are controlled based on the measure of wakefulness of the subject. The sensory stimulators may be controlled to modulate an intensity of the sensory stimulation delivered to the subject. For example, the sensory stimulators may decrease the intensity of the sensory stimulation as the measure of wakefulness decreases. The system then determines that the measure of wakefulness has reached stable sleep. The sensory stimulators are controlled based on the determination that the measure of wakefulness has reached stable sleep. The sensory stimulators may decrease the intensity of the sensory stimulation at a faster rate once the measure of wakefulness reaches stable sleep.

A system includes: a robot comprising an arm, the arm comprising a flange, the flange coupled to an end of the arm, the arm configured to move the flange along a degree of freedom; a mask coupled to the flange, the mask configured to deliver gas to a user, wherein the arm further comprises a kinematic mount, the kinematic mount usable to do one or more of orient and locate the mask with respect to the flange; a ventilator coupled to the mask, the ventilator configured to deliver the gas to the mask; a gas tube coupled to both the mask and the ventilator, the gas tube configured to carry gas between the ventilator and the mask; and a tracking system, the tracking system configured to capture image data of one or more of the mask and a face of the user.
