[0002] Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) generally refers to an episode in which airflow through the mouth and nose stops for 10 seconds or longer, accompanied by a decrease in blood oxygen saturation. Adults often experience more than 30 episodes during a 7-hour nightly sleep period. Other types include central sleep apnea (CSA) and mixed sleep apnea (MSA). In recent years, with advancements in testing methods, in-depth and comprehensive research on OSA has revealed its complexity, variability, and prevalence. Therefore, OSA should not be viewed simply as an annoying noise in social life that disturbs others' rest; rather, it is a clinical disorder requiring careful examination as it can cause many serious complications.

[0003] Many patients with obstructive sleep apnea habitually breathe through their mouths during sleep, which worsens snoring and can even affect the effectiveness of CPAP therapy. Therefore, a new technological solution is needed to address this issue. Utility Model Content
