Portable Polysomnography Apparatus and System

摘要

A portable polysomnography apparatus comprises a unitary flexible structured pillow that is embedded with accelerometers for data collection. The polysomnography apparatus is advantageously sized and shaped to cause the sleeping subject to properly orient the embedded accelerometers for optimal data collection while the subject is asleep. A portable polysomnography system comprises a structured pillow with embedded sensors that are in wireless communication with a companion data collection device that records data from the embedded sensors. In an alternative embodiment, a system may include a structured pillow with an internal pocket into which a single device including embedded sensors and data recording capabilities is inserted.
