SNORING TREATMENT
First Claim
1. A health-sensing device for a snorer, the health sensing device comprising:
- a microphone sensor configured to sense sound from the snorer and generate a sensor signal in response to the sensed sound;
a filter configured to receive the sensor signal, determine if a snoring sound has been detected, and generate a filter signal when the snoring sound is detected; and
a transmitter configured to receive the filter signal and generate a transmission responsive to the filter signal.

Abstract
Health-sensing and health-action devices and systems are generally described. The health-sensing device may include one or more of a sensor, a filter, and a transmitter. The sensor may be configured to sense one or more factors relating to an indicator of a health related condition or occurrence such as snoring and may include one or more microphone devices, accelerometers, and/or MEMs devices. The filter may be configured to evaluate a signal from the sensor and determine if the indicator has been detected. The transmitter may be arranged for initiating a transmission based on a signal from the filter. The health-action device may be configured for responding to an indicator of a health related condition or occurrence of a user and may include one or more of a receiver, a processor, and a responder. The health-action device may stimulate the user or may cancel the snoring sound.
