Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of sleep disorder treatment technology, and in particular to a system, method, device and medium for recommending treatment for OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea). Background Technology

[0002] OSA (Obstructive sleep apnea) is a clinical condition characterized by respiratory distress and hypoventilation due to narrowing and obstruction of the upper airway. It primarily occurs during sleep and can manifest as snoring, daytime sleepiness, sleep apnea, nocturia, headache, and personality changes. Clinical treatment for OSA mainly includes surgical and non-surgical approaches. Due to limitations in indications and treatment efficacy, current non-surgical treatments primarily involve mechanical ventilation and orthodontic appliances. While mechanical ventilation can improve hypoventilation, it is not portable and can easily lead to ventilator-associated infections and complications, resulting in poor treatment adherence. Orthodontic appliances are a non-surgical, conservative treatment for OSA, most commonly the mandibular advancement device (MAD). MAD works by pulling the mandible forward, which in turn moves the tongue forward, causing the soft palate to lower horizontally along with the tongue, thus expanding the pharyngeal cavity. However, orthodontic appliances are not inexpensive, treatment responses vary from person to person, and traditionally, efficacy is difficult to predict based solely on clinical characteristics. Traditional treatments often fail to produce satisfactory results in 30%-40% of patients. The current lack of efficient and objective predictive methods leads some patients to receive ineffective treatment, delaying their condition and wasting resources. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention provides a system, method, device, and medium for recommending treatment plans for OSA, in order to solve the technical problems of high treatment costs and uncertain treatment efficacy for OSA.

[0004] According to one aspect of the present invention, a system for recommending treatment options for OSA is provided, comprising: Oral appliance fabrication equipment is used to perform oral scans on patients initially screened for OSA to obtain digital oral impressions; to fabricate dental impressions of the patients; and to fabricate prefabricated oral appliances for the patients based on the digital oral impressions and the dental impressions. The data acquisition device collects first sleep monitoring data of the patient while wearing the oral orthodontic appliance, and second sleep monitoring data when not wearing the oral orthodontic appliance; An analysis and comparison unit is used to compare the first sleep monitoring data and the second sleep monitoring data, and determine the fit between the patient and the orthodontic appliance based on the comparison results. The treatment plan recommendation unit is used to recommend suitable treatment plans for patients based on the fit between the patient and the orthodontic appliance. Optionally, the dental appliance fabrication equipment includes a 3D scanner for performing oral scans on patients initially screened for OSA to obtain digital impressions of the patient's oral cavity; the 3D scanner is one of a structured light 3D scanner, a laser 3D scanner, a photogrammetric scanner, a CT 3D scanner, and a handheld 3D scanner.

[0005] Optionally, the dental appliance fabrication device uses a silicone rubber impression tool to take dental impressions of the patient.

[0006] Optional, the dental appliance manufacturing equipment includes a 3D printer, which is used to create a personalized, disposable dental appliance based on the patient's digital oral impression and dental impression.

[0007] Optionally, the acquisition device includes a polysomnography system for monitoring the patient's AHI and blood oxygen saturation.

[0008] Optionally, the first sleep monitoring data is the sleep monitoring data of the patient wearing the oral orthodontic appliance for one whole night; the second sleep monitoring data is the sleep monitoring data of the patient not wearing the oral orthodontic appliance for one whole night; the sleep monitoring data includes at least AHI and blood oxygen saturation.

[0009] Optionally, the analysis and comparison unit is used to input the first sleep monitoring data and the second sleep monitoring data into a preset response calculation formula to obtain a response value; and to determine the patient's response level based on the comparison result of the response value and a preset response threshold; the response level reflects the fit between the patient and the orthodontic appliance.

[0010] According to another aspect of the present invention, a method for recommending a treatment plan for OSA is provided, comprising: Oral scans are performed on patients initially screened for OSA to obtain digital oral impressions; dental impressions are taken from the patients; and prefabricated orthodontic appliances are fabricated from the digital oral impressions and the dental impressions. Collect first sleep monitoring data of the patient while wearing the oral appliance, and second sleep monitoring data when not wearing the oral appliance; By comparing the first sleep monitoring data and the second sleep monitoring data, the fit between the patient and the orthodontic appliance is determined based on the comparison results. We recommend appropriate treatment plans for patients based on their fit with the orthodontic appliances.

[0011] According to another aspect of the present invention, an electronic device is provided, the electronic device comprising: At least one processor; and A memory communicatively connected to the at least one processor; wherein, The memory stores a computer program that can be executed by the at least one processor to enable the at least one processor to perform the method for recommending treatment for OSA as described in any embodiment of the present invention.

[0012] According to another aspect of the present invention, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, the computer-readable storage medium storing computer instructions for causing a processor to execute and implement the method for recommending a treatment plan for OSA as described in any embodiment of the present invention.

[0013] The technical solution of this invention involves using an orthodontic appliance fabrication device to perform an oral scan on a patient initially screened for OSA, obtaining a digital impression of the patient's mouth; fabricating the patient's dental impressions; and using 3D printing technology to fabricate a disposable prefabricated orthodontic appliance for the patient. By collecting first sleep monitoring data while the patient is wearing the orthodontic appliance and second sleep monitoring data when not wearing the appliance, and comparing the first and second sleep monitoring data, the compatibility between the patient and the orthodontic appliance is determined, thereby recommending a suitable treatment plan for the patient. This invention uses a low-cost prefabricated orthodontic appliance to predict the patient's compatibility with the appliance, and then recommends a suitable treatment plan, thus ensuring accurate and low-cost prediction of whether a patient is suitable for orthodontic appliance treatment.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0019] Example 1 Figure 1 This invention provides a system architecture diagram for recommending treatment plans for OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea) according to Embodiment 1. Figure 1 As shown, the system includes: An orthodontic appliance fabrication device is used to perform oral scans on patients initially screened for OSA to obtain digital oral impressions; to fabricate dental impressions of the patients; and to fabricate prefabricated orthodontic appliances for the patients based on the digital oral impressions and the dental impressions.

[0020] The data acquisition device collects first sleep monitoring data of the patient while wearing the oral orthodontic appliance, and second sleep monitoring data when not wearing the oral orthodontic appliance.

[0021] The analysis and comparison unit is used to compare the first sleep monitoring data and the second sleep monitoring data, and determine the fit between the patient and the orthodontic appliance based on the comparison results.

[0022] The treatment plan recommendation unit is used to recommend suitable treatment plans for patients based on the fit between the patient and the orthodontic appliance. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the patient can be screened for OSA based on medical history, physical examination, questionnaire, and then a sleep screening device.

[0023] The dental appliance fabrication equipment is used to create dental appliances for patients initially screened for OSA. In this embodiment, 3D printing technology can be used to customize and prefabricate dental appliances for patients. The dental appliance fabrication equipment can acquire three-dimensional coordinate data of the patient's oral cavity using technologies such as optical / structured light / laser, ultimately generating a digital dental impression suitable for 3D printing. Additionally, in this embodiment, silicone rubber can be used for impression taking to obtain tooth morphology with high precision.

[0024] The high-precision dental impressions obtained using silicone rubber impression taking can be converted into accurate digital models and fused with digital impressions obtained from intraoral scanning to eliminate errors. Based on the fused digital model, the structural design of the DMAD (Dental Orthodontic Device) is completed in CAD software, and the corresponding prefabricated dental appliance is printed using 3D printing technology. It should be noted that the prefabricated dental appliance in this embodiment is a disposable dental appliance, and its manufacturing process is simple, using disposable consumable materials.

[0025] The data acquisition device in this embodiment may include multiple sensors for collecting the patient's sleep monitoring data. The sleep monitoring data may include the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), blood oxygen saturation, sleep stage ratio, etc. Specifically, the first sleep monitoring data is the sleep monitoring data for the entire night after the patient falls asleep wearing an orthodontic appliance, and the second sleep monitoring data is the sleep monitoring data for the entire night after the patient falls asleep without wearing an orthodontic appliance.

[0026] The analysis and comparison unit can be a processor, which can compare the collected first and second sleep monitoring data to determine the fit between the patient and the orthodontic appliance. For example, if the first sleep monitoring data collected after the patient wears the orthodontic appliance shows a significant improvement compared to the second sleep monitoring data collected without the appliance, it indicates that the patient has a high fit with the orthodontic appliance. If the first sleep monitoring data does not show a significant improvement compared to the second sleep monitoring data, it indicates that the patient has a low fit with the orthodontic appliance.

[0027] The treatment plan recommendation unit may include a processor for a recommendation application, which can recommend suitable treatment plans for patients based on the fit between the patient and the orthodontic appliance. For example, when the patient has a high fit with the orthodontic appliance, a customized orthodontic appliance may be recommended; when the patient has a low fit, non-invasive positive pressure ventilation, surgical treatment, or other treatment plans may be recommended.

[0028] The technical solution of this invention involves using an orthodontic appliance fabrication device to perform an oral scan on a patient initially screened for OSA, obtaining a digital impression of the patient's mouth; fabricating the patient's dental impressions; and using 3D printing technology to fabricate a disposable prefabricated orthodontic appliance for the patient. By collecting first sleep monitoring data while the patient is wearing the orthodontic appliance and second sleep monitoring data when not wearing the appliance, and comparing the first and second sleep monitoring data, the compatibility between the patient and the orthodontic appliance is determined, thereby recommending a suitable treatment plan for the patient. This invention uses a low-cost prefabricated orthodontic appliance to predict the patient's compatibility with the appliance, and then recommends a suitable treatment plan, thus ensuring accurate and low-cost prediction of whether a patient is suitable for orthodontic appliance treatment.

[0029] In one embodiment, the dental appliance fabrication device includes a 3D scanner for performing oral scans on patients initially screened for OSA to obtain digital impressions of the patient's oral cavity; the 3D scanner is one of a structured light 3D scanner, a laser 3D scanner, a photogrammetric scanner, a CT 3D scanner, and a handheld 3D scanner.

[0030] In this embodiment, three-dimensional data of the dentition, gingiva, and occlusion relationship can be collected using a dental-specific 3D scanning device (mainly an intraoral scanner), and a high-precision digital model (STL format) that can be used for dental restoration / orthodontic appliance design can be generated.

[0031] In one embodiment, the dental appliance fabrication device uses a silicone rubber impression to take a dental impression of the patient.

[0032] In one embodiment, the orthodontic appliance manufacturing equipment includes a 3D printer for manufacturing a patient-customized disposable orthodontic appliance using 3D printing technology based on a digital impression of the patient's mouth and dental impressions.

[0033] Specifically, the physical form of the silicone rubber impression can be transformed into a precise digital model, the oral digital impression can be collected and calibrated, and the patient's mandibular advancement position and occlusal relationship can be digitally recorded; based on the calibrated dentition digital model and occlusal data, the structural design of the MAD can be completed in CAD software; dental-specific 3D printing technology and materials can be selected to ensure printing accuracy and biocompatibility.

[0034] In one embodiment, the acquisition device includes a polysomnography system for monitoring the patient's AHI and blood oxygen saturation.

[0035] Polysomnography (PSG) is a specialized medical device system used to simultaneously collect, record, and analyze multiple physiological indicators during human sleep. It is a tool for diagnosing sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). A PSG system includes electrode components, sensor components, and a data acquisition unit. The electrode components measure the patient's electroencephalogram (EEG), electrooculogram (EOG), electromyogram (EMG), and electrocardiogram (ECG). The sensor components measure the patient's respiratory airflow, chest and abdominal movements, blood oxygen concentration, snoring intensity and frequency, and body position. The data analyzer amplifies, filters, and converts the collected analog physiological signals (such as brain waves and airflow signals) to digital before transmitting them to a computer for storage, while simultaneously displaying the signal waveforms in real time. It can automatically or manually divide sleep cycles based on the signal characteristics of EEG, EEG, EMG, and ECG, and calculate the proportion of each sleep stage. It can also automatically mark abnormal events such as apnea, hypopnea, decreased blood oxygenation, snoring, and limb movements, and calculate key indicators such as the Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI).

[0036] In one embodiment, the first sleep monitoring data is sleep monitoring data for a whole night after the patient falls asleep wearing the oral orthodontic appliance; the second sleep monitoring data is sleep monitoring data for a whole night after the patient falls asleep without wearing the oral orthodontic appliance; the sleep monitoring data includes at least AHI and blood oxygen saturation.

[0037] The first sleep monitoring data consisted of sleep data collected throughout the night after the patient fell asleep wearing an orthodontic appliance, while the second sleep monitoring data consisted of sleep data collected throughout the night after the patient fell asleep without wearing an orthodontic appliance. The sleep monitoring data could include the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), blood oxygen saturation, and the proportion of sleep stages.

[0038] It should be noted that the collection of both the first and second sleep monitoring data requires the same patient to be in the same sleep environment. Baseline PSG data for the complete sleep cycle after falling asleep without wearing an orthodontic appliance can be collected first as a control standard, and then PSG data for the complete sleep cycle after falling asleep with an orthodontic appliance can be collected.

[0039] In one embodiment, the analysis and comparison unit is used to input the first sleep monitoring data and the second sleep monitoring data into a preset response calculation formula to obtain a response value; and to determine the patient's response level based on the comparison result of the response value and a preset response threshold; the response level reflects the fit between the patient and the orthodontic appliance.

[0040] In this embodiment, the response value can be calculated by comparing the same indicator in the first sleep monitoring data and the second sleep monitoring data. For example, the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) in the first sleep monitoring data and the second sleep monitoring data can be calculated to obtain the percentage decrease in the number of obstructive apnea episodes, or the difference between the first sleep monitoring data and the second sleep monitoring data can be calculated for the cumulative time of the lowest blood oxygen saturation (LSaO2) or blood oxygen saturation <90%. The proportion of rapid eye movement sleep (REM) or deep sleep (N3 stage) or sleep arousal index in the first sleep monitoring data and the second sleep monitoring data can also be calculated.

[0041] In this embodiment, a high level of patient responsiveness can be defined as follows: AHI decrease ≥50%, LSaO2 increase ≥4%, arousal index decrease ≥30%, and no significant adverse reactions when the patient wears the orthodontic appliance. In other words, the patient is considered to have a high degree of fit with the orthodontic appliance. When AHI decreases <20%, blood oxygenation index does not improve or even worsens, or sleep structure becomes more fragmented, the patient is considered to have a low level of responsiveness. In other words, the patient is considered to have a low degree of fit with the orthodontic appliance.

[0042] In one embodiment, the treatment recommendation unit is used to recommend corresponding treatment plans to the patient based on the patient's responsiveness level.

[0043] It should be noted that in this embodiment, when the patient has a high fit with the orthodontic appliance, the orthodontic appliance can be recommended for treatment; when the patient has a low fit with the orthodontic appliance, non-invasive positive airway pressure (CPAP) can be used. The patient's CPAP compliance can be further assessed to determine whether the patient can undergo CPAP treatment. If the compliance is poor, surgical treatment or other treatment methods can be considered, and the patient should have regular PSG follow-up examinations.

[0044] The technical solution of this invention uses a low-cost, customizable, prefabricated diagnostic mandibular advancement device (DMAD) for diagnostic polysomnography, avoiding the waste of medical resources due to "ineffective wear". It precisely triages patients based on prediction results (such as the percentage reduction in AHI, the degree of improvement in minimum blood oxygen saturation, etc.). Using objective data from overnight PSG as the sole or primary basis for triage, it establishes a quantitative indicator of "DMAD responsiveness". High-responders are directly introduced into a customized high-precision DMAD process; moderate-responders / those with specific anatomical structures are recommended a combined treatment plan of surgery + DMAD; and low / non-responders are excluded early to avoid ineffective investment, and other options such as CPAP and postural therapy are directly recommended.
