BED HAVING FEATURES FOR CONTROLLING HEATING OF A BED TO REDUCE HEALTH RISK OF A SLEEPER

Temperature sensors are configured to sense a temperature for the sleeper and transmit temperature readings. A controller is configured to receive temperature readings; and send to a heating subsystem instructions to initiate a warming process that raises a distal temperature of the sleeper more than a proximal temperature of the sleeper. The heating subsystem that may include a heating element that, when engaged, can raise the distal temperature of the sleeper more than the proximal temperature of the sleeper.

DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT FOR OSA-RELATED BRUXISM

A method and system for diagnosing, treating, and ameliorating sleep bruxism events using a positive airway pressure (PAP) system for treating obstructive sleep apnea to concurrently recognize bruxism events. At least one sensor is integrated into a therapy interface and/or headgear to detect physiological signals indicative of bruxism. In some exemplary embodiments, a loudspeaker and microphone are integrated into the interface, either near the nose or near the mouth of the patient. When integrated near the nose, the pair is used for acoustical rhinometry, and when integrated near the mouth, the pair is used for acoustical pharyngometry. In other exemplary embodiments, sound or vibration sensors are used to detect signals indicative of teeth grinding. In response to sensor detection of bruxism activity, the PAP system controller adjusts the PAP therapy settings or proposes alternative treatment modalities in order to stop or prevent bruxism events.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REDUCING INSOMNIA-RELATED SYMPTOMS
20230048000 · 2023-02-16 ·

A system includes a memory storing a user profile for a user of the system and machine-readable instructions and a control system including one or more processors configured to execute the machine-readable instructions to receive physiological data associated with the user during a sleep session, determine, based at least in part on the received physiological data, a set of sleep-related parameters for the sleep session, subsequent to the sleep session, select one of the set of sleep-related parameters as a targeted parameter, the selection of the targeted parameter being based at least in part on the stored user profile, the set of sleep-related parameters, or both, and cause information to be communicated to the user via a user device, the information being indicative of the targeted parameter, a recommendation associated with improving the targeted parameter for the user in one or more subsequent sleep sessions, or both.
