Systems, methods and apparatuses for the alleviation and outcome monitoring of sleep disordered breathing
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring sleep disordered breathing, the system comprising:
- a sensor assembly configured to detect data indicative of at least one physiological parameter of a user during breath training sessions occurring while the user is awake, the breath training sessions including voluntary breath holding occurrences, and to detect data indicative of at least one physiological parameter obtained while the user is asleep,an electronic computing unit comprising;
a processor configured to;
analyze the data indicative of the at least one physiological parameter obtained by the sensor assembly while the user is asleep and the at least one physiological parameter of a user during the breath training sessions occurring while the user is awake,determine effectiveness of the breath training sessions occurring while the user is awake by;
determining trends of the at least one physiological parameter obtained while the user is asleep from the analyzed data and determining trends of the voluntary breath holding occurrences obtained during the breath training session, anddetermining changes in the at least one physiological parameter obtained while the user is asleep during a period of time from the determined trends by determining a number of sleep disorder events occurring over the period of time and by determining if the frequency of the number of sleep disorder events is changing; and
an output unit configured to provide, to the user, information regarding the determined effectiveness of the breath training sessions.

Abstract
Systems and methods for determining the effectiveness of breath training regimens are disclosed. The systems include a sensor assembly configured to detect data indicative of at least one physiological parameter of a user during breath training sessions while the user is awake and while the user is asleep. The system also includes an electronic computing unit with a processor configured to analyze the data indicative of the at least one physiological parameter of the user detected by the sensor assembly, and determine effectiveness of the breath training sessions on the user by determining trends of the at least one physiological parameter of the user from the analyzed data, and determining changes in the at least one physiological parameter of the user while the user is asleep occurring during a period of time from the determined trends.

12. A method for monitoring sleep disordered breathing in a user, the method comprising the steps of:
-
detecting, with a sensor assembly, data indicative of at least one physiological parameter of a user during breath training sessions occurring while the user is awake, the breath training sessions including voluntary breath holding occurrences, and data indicative of at least one physiological parameter obtained while the user is asleep, analyzing, with a processor in an electronic computing unit, the data indicative of the at least one physiological parameter obtained by the sensor assembly while the user is asleep and the at least one physiological parameter of a user during the breath training sessions occurring while the user is awake, determining, with the processor, effectiveness of the breath training sessions occurring while the user is awake by; determining trends of the at least one physiological parameter obtained while the user is asleep from the analyzed data and determining trends of the voluntary breath holding occurrences obtained during the breath training session, and determining changes in the at least one physiological parameter obtained while the user is asleep during a period of time from the determined trends by determining a number of sleep disorder events occurring over the period of time and by determining if the frequency of the number of sleep disorder events is changing; and providing, with an output unit, information to the user regarding the determined effectiveness of the breath training sessions. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
