Smart Ring Manufacturer Oura Submits Patent for a Non-intrusive Wearable Patch For Detecting Likelihood of Sleep Apnea #WearableWednesday
For those of us who have had to surrender ourselves to a sleep center in order to determine whether or not we have sleep apnea, this patent from Oura comes as welcome news. Here’s more from Warable.com:
“The present invention provides a positional obstructive sleep apnea detection system that obtains information about a subject’s sleep position and combines it with information of a cessation or reduction in breathing,” reads the recently published patent spotted by Wareable.
“In some embodiments, the detection system combines a pulse oximeter with a position sensor. Pulse oximetry is at the core of every sleep study to track blood oxygen saturation below standard levels.”
