Abstract

A sleeping respiratory obstruction prevention apparatus for preventing snoring or sleep apneas includes a human body wearable unit to be worn by a sleeper; air chambers provided at a rear of the human body wearable unit, the air chambers being capable of being shrunk and expanded; and an air supply unit for supplying air to the air chambers. The apparatus further includes a pressure detecting unit for measuring each pressure of the air chambers and outputting each pressure as an electrical signal; and a controller for receiving the signal outputted from the pressure detecting unit to supply the air to the air chambers by using the air supply unit when a snoring or a sleep apnea of the sleeper is detected in order to change a posture of the sleeper. A sleeping respiratory obstruction prevention method is provided to prevent a snoring or a sleep apnea using the apparatus.

Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a device for preventing and treating sleep-disordered breathing and a method for preventing and treating sleep-disordered breathing; and, in particular, to such a device for preventing and treating sleep-disordered breathing and a method for preventing and treating sleep-disordered breathing using the device , which can change the sleeping position naturally to stop snoring or sleep apnea without waking the sleeper up, and even if the sleeper moves unconsciously, it can precisely change the position by accurately judging whether the sleeper is snoring based on the environmental noise. Background technique

[0002] In general, habitual snoring, obstructive sleep apnea, and upper airway resistance syndrome, which are classified as sleep-disordered breathing, are disorders in which recurrent closing of the upper airway occurs during sleep.
