SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SLEEP DISORDER DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- establishing a wireless data communication interface between a networked server and a sleep metering system worn by a user, the sleep metering system including a sensor array, wireless transceiver, and a processor, the sensor array including a respiratory effort sensor integrated into an adhesive patch worn by the user, the sensor array including a pulse and oxygen detection sensor to use reflective oximetry to measure oxygen saturation of the user transcutaneously from the user'"'"'s upper abdomen;
activating the sleep metering system to begin collection of sensor data from the user based on data signals from the sensor array of the sleep metering system;
receiving a respiratory waveform and data corresponding to a level of arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) in the user'"'"'s blood over time as an SpO2 waveform based on the collected sensor data;
receiving a set of user-configured control variables; and
generating a sleep efficiency score based on the respiratory waveform, the SpO2 waveform, and the user-configured control variables, the sleep efficiency score including a log of the user'"'"'s respiratory effort reduction events (RERE) and respiratory effort exaggeration events (REEE).
