SLEEP APNEA TEST SENSOR ASSEMBLY AND SLEEP APNEA TEST EQUIPMENT USING THE SAME
First Claim
1. A sleep apnea test sensor assembly comprising multiple sensors to be used for diagnosis of sleep apnea syndrome, wherein:
- the multiple sensors each comprise;
a sensing section;
a clock unit;
a storage unit for storing sensing data measured by the sensing section and associated with time data of the clock unit; and
a control unit for allowing the sensing section to perform sensing at a predetermined period in response to a clocking operation of the clock unit, and for setting time of the clock unit in response to a synchronous signal input from outside; and
the multiple sensors are comprised of a combination of at least two of a temperature sensor for measuring nose breath, a temperature sensor for measuring mouth breath, an acoustic sensor for measuring snore, a light sensor for measuring blood oxygen concentration, and acceleration sensors for measuring chest and stomach movements.

Abstract
This relates to a sleep apnea test sensor assembly (20) comprising multiple sensors to be used for diagnosis of sleep apnea syndrome, and a test equipment (30) comprising the same. The respective sensors each associate sensing data measured by a respective sensing section with time data of a clock unit, and store them in a storage unit so as to allow the sensing section to perform sensing at a predetermined period in response to a clocking operation of the clock unit, and set time of the clock unit in response to a synchronous signal input from outside. The respective sensors operate physically independently of each other, but can measure sensing data with the synchronization in time therebetween being secured, enabling accurate diagnosis of SAS.
