Title:
BELT FOR DETECTING, CORRECTING, PREVENTING AND MONITORING SLEEP APNOEA
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/050225
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to an abdominal belt which is a portable device designed for detecting, correcting, preventing and monitoring obstructive sleep apnoea without waking the patient. The user adjusts the belt to his or her size, switches it on, and activates a mechanism which, by means of a sensor, detects a lack of breathing before said lack of breathing becomes a period of apnoea. The sensor emits a signal to a motor which transmits a subtle vibration through the belt to the patient, without rousing him or her into a state of consciousness, so that he or she resumes breathing. The following day, the patient connects the belt to the USB port of his or her computer to recharge the battery and to display the data consolidating the history of the previous night and past nights.
