This invention discloses a neck-worn
sleep apnea and blood
oxygen monitoring necklace device and its monitoring method, belonging to the field of
sleep monitoring technology. The device includes: a flexible,
skin-friendly neck ring, which integrates a reflective blood
oxygen sensor, a piezoelectric
thin film sensor, and an
accelerometer; a pendant-style main control box, which has a built-in battery,
microprocessor,
wireless communication module, and alarm unit. This invention also includes: (1) a method for extracting weak respiratory vibration signals from the neck, which removes cardiac pulsation interference through adaptive filtering; (2) an adaptive filtering method for turning over interference, which identifies changes in
body position in real
time based on an
accelerometer and dynamically adjusts the judgment window; (3) a multi-parameter fusion method for judging and classifying
apnea events, which automatically classifies OSA, CSA, and MSA based on snoring energy and blood
oxygen decrease; (4) a graded low-power all-night monitoring method; and (5) an
apnea event trend early warning method. This invention adopts a necklace-style, imperceptible wearing design, which has the advantages of high sensitivity, anti-interference, automatic classification, and long battery life, and is suitable for long-term
continuous monitoring and forward-looking early warning of
sleep apnea in the home.
