Disordered breathing monitoring device and method of using same including a study status indicator
First Claim
1. An apparatus for collecting data for a sleep study, comprising:
- a sensor adapted to collect data relating to a parameter of a user of the apparatus over a period of time; and
a controller operatively coupled to the sensor, the controller being adapted to;
(a) receive configuration information specifying a predetermined amount of valid data that is required for a sleep study to be deemed valid,(b) receive the data relating to the parameter and determine an amount of the received data that is valid, and(c) cause a study status indicator to be output by the apparatus that is based on the amount of the received data that is determined to be valid and the predetermined amount specified in the configuration information and that indicates how much valid data has been collected as compared to the predetermined amount of valid data.

14. A method of collecting data for a sleep study using an apparatus having one or more sensors for collecting the data, comprising:
-
receiving on the apparatus configuration information specifying a predetermined amount of valid data that is required for a sleep study to be deemed valid; collecting with the one or more sensors data relating to a parameter of a patient over a period of time; determining on the apparatus an amount of the collected data that is valid; storing on the apparatus at least the collected data that is determined to be valid; and providing a study status indicator that is based on the amount of the collected data that is determined to be valid and the predetermined amount specified in the configuration information and that indicates how much valid data has been collected as compared to the predetermined amount of valid data. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
