SYSTEM COMPRISING A SENSING UNIT AND A DEVICE FOR PROCESSING DATA RELATING TO DISTURBANCES THAT MAY OCCUR DURING THE SLEEP OF A SUBJECT

Abstract: the present invention relates to devices, systems and methods for detecting disturbances that may occur during the sleep of a subject using measurements and assessments of mandibular rotation and movement of a sleeping subject. a sensing unit may be positioned onto the exterior of the subject's mandible and may generate data measurements corresponding to mandibular rotation and movement. for example, measurements by an accelerometer and gyroscope corresponding to rotation and movement of the mandible provide the necessary information to arrive at an accurate assessment of sleep stages, sleep indicators and/or other sleep related information which may be used to make recommendations regarding sleep conditions and/or disorders. a report may be generated including such sleep stages, sleep indicators and/or other sleep related information as well as any recommendations regarding sleep conditions and/or disorders for use for diagnosing sleep events such as obstructive sleep apnea (osa).
