Embodiment Construction

[0049] The present invention provides a sleep study system comprising a collection of sensors for monitoring physiological parameters of a subject during sleep as part of a sleep study and for monitoring sleep stages of the subject. A determination is made as to whether intervention of the subject is required to maintain or repair the sleep study system. If this is the case, the time at which the intervention is performed is also derived on the basis of the sleep stage of the subject, in particular so as to cause the least disturbance to said subject.

[0050] The sleep study may be a polysomnographic study, which is used to diagnose or rule out many types of sleep disorders, including narcolepsy, specific hypersomnia, periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD), REM behavior disorder, parasomnia Sleep and sleep apnea.

[0051] In a typical polysomnography study, an EEG (electroencephalogram) sensor is used to record brain waves, a PPG (plethysmography) sensor is used to record ox...

Abstract

A sleep study system comprises a set of sensors for monitoring physiological parameters of a subject during sleep as part of a sleep study and for monitoring the sleep stage of the subject. It is determined if intervention to the subject is needed for maintenance or repair to the sleep study system. If so, a time to perform the intervention is also derived based on the sleep stage of the subject,in particular so as to be least disruptive to the subject.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a system for performing an overnight sleep study of a subject. Background technique [0002] It is well known that poor or insufficient sleep is both common and medically undesirable. It is known that sleep habits can be improved given that the patient is aware of the current quality of his or her sleep. [0003] By providing feedback on sleep quality, patients can enact behavior changes and / or regulate sleep habits in a manner that promotes improved sleep quality. It is known that an indication of sleep quality may require identification of different sleep stages and transitions between them during sleep. It is known that sleep stages generally include a rapid eye movement (REM) stage and one or more non-rapid eye movement (NREM) stages. [0004] It is also well known that polysomnography (PSG) can be used to analyze, detect and / or determine a subject's current sleep stage. Such an analysis is performed, for exampl...
