Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of sleep monitoring technology, specifically to a sleep monitoring device, sleep monitoring method, and system. Background Technology

[0002] Sleep health is a crucial cornerstone of overall health, and irregular sleep and sleep disorders are closely related to various physiological and psychological problems. To scientifically assess sleep quality and screen for sleep-related diseases (such as sleep apnea syndrome), sleep monitoring technology has become a key tool for clinical diagnosis and family health management. Existing sleep monitoring solutions mainly fall into two categories: professional medical polysomnography and portable home monitoring devices. Current portable home sleep monitoring devices, especially those combining finger-clip pulse oximeters with respiratory monitoring catheters, generally suffer from the following technical shortcomings that urgently need to be addressed in practical use: Existing devices typically consist of multiple independent, loosely connected components, such as a separate main unit, nasal breathing catheter, and finger-clip pulse oximeter probe. When wearing these devices, users need to fix the catheter to their head, hold the probe with their fingers, and ensure the main unit is properly positioned. This multi-component, multi-step wearing process is extremely cumbersome, requires a high level of user skill, and lacks physical uniformity between the components, resulting in poor overall integrity. When users turn over or move during sleep, sensors can easily shift, become detached, or their wires become tangled. This not only interrupts monitoring and affects data continuity but also severely disrupts the user's natural sleep state, reducing the effectiveness of monitoring and user compliance. The connecting wires between the pulse oximeter and the main unit are usually loose and exposed. During hours of sleep, these wires can easily become tangled around the user's arms or bed rails, posing a risk of pulling or strangulation injuries and creating safety hazards. At the same time, the tangled wires increase the user's discomfort from being restrained, exacerbating the "foreign object sensation," which is not conducive to relaxation and falling asleep, violating the fundamental principle of sleep monitoring to minimize interference. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a sleep monitoring device, sleep monitoring method, and system, which solve the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0012] This invention provides a sleep monitoring device, a sleep monitoring method, and a system, which have the following beneficial effects: 1. The sleep monitoring device, sleep monitoring method and system achieve stable wearability of the device by placing the main unit on the monitoring cap and combining it with an adjustable headband and Velcro adhesive structure. This significantly reduces the risk of the device shifting or falling off due to movement during sleep, ensuring the stability and continuity of signal acquisition.

[0013] 2. This sleep monitoring device, method, and system utilize a modular retractable mechanism: controlled by knobs and handles, users can flexibly retract the second lead connected to the pulse oximeter clip according to arm length, ensuring the lead is always moderately taut with no excess hanging. Extension tubes, nasal cannulas, and other wires are neatly led out through the bottom groove, while the pulse oximeter probe lead is guided and protected by a special sleeve on the sleeve. This design incorporates all exposed leads into a pre-set, body-hugging fixed channel, minimizing the inconvenience of leads becoming tangled or wrapped around the body or bedding during sleep, significantly improving safety, overall comfort, and neatness.
