Problems solved by technology

[0013] However, polysomnography can be used in a comprehensive assessment of normal breathing or apnea, sleep quality, etc., but there is a limitation to implement the measurement with many attached sensing elements in a special purpose space
[0014] Also, the diagnosis of obstructive apnea caused by negative pressure in the upper airway may vary with individual lung function, so there are limitations to analyzing the actual impact of apnea on the human body

Abstract

The present invention relates to a device for measuring sleep apnea and a method therefor which diagnose apnea based on images obtained from impedance data of each of the upper airway and the chest ofa subject. Accordingly, by imaging the air distribution in a lung according to the opening and closing of the upper airway by applying electrical impedance tomography (EIT) using electrodes attachedto the upper airway and the chest, at least one of obstructive apnea, central apnea and complex apnea can be diagnosed and a treatment plan can be established therefor.

Description

technical field [0001] 【Technical field】 [0002] The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and method for measuring sleep apnea, and more particularly to an apparatus and method for measuring sleep apnea that uses images based on impedance data from a subject's upper airway and chest to diagnose apnea and Provide information needed for treatment. Background technique [0003] 【Background technique】 [0004] Sleep apnea is a serious health problem that causes heart disease, obesity, fatigue, accidents caused by dozing off, and the like. Apnea is on the rise globally due to increasing life expectancy and increasing numbers of overweight people. [0005] For diagnosing sleep apnea, polysomnography (PSG) is generally used, and medical institutions that perform polysomnography install many instruments in separate laboratories that measure biometric signals such as brain waves or the like, images Monitor devices, etc., and have a sleep specialist operate them.
