Abstract

The present disclosure pertains to a system and method for providing mandibular advancement and sleep positional therapy to a user for a sleep session. The system is formed by a mandibular advancement device for treating obstructive sleep disordered breathing (e.g., obstructive sleep apnea and snoring) that includes an electronics module configured to aid in sleep positional training. The present system and method facilitate advancing a lower jaw of the user into a protruding position relative to an upper jaw of the user to increase a size of an airway of the user, determining whether a posture of the user has breached a posture threshold, and, responsive to a breach, prompting the user to change posture such that the posture of the user no longer breaches the posture threshold.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for providing jaw advancement and sleep position therapy to users for sleep sessions. Background technique [0002] Electronic postural sleep therapy devices are known. One such device is described in US Patent Application Publication No. 2013 / 0043999. A typical positional sleep therapy device detects whether the user is lying on their back and provides vibratory feedback to the user prompting the user to change his or her position. A more traditional approach to postural sleep training is known as the "tennis technique." Using this technique, a tennis ball is sewn into the back of the bed sheet the user is using, making it uncomfortable for the user to lie on their back. Mandibular advancement devices are also known. Known electronic postural sleep therapy devices, tennis techniques, and jaw advancement devices do not provide the user with any other sleep assistance beyond the individual operat...
