Abstract: The present invention provides a system for treating a mammalian patient having obstructive sleep disordered breathing, e.g., sleep apnea. The system has a set of appliances including a first appliance being adapted to displace a mandible of the patient by a first predetermined geometry relative to a maxilla of the patient. The set also includes at least a second appliance adapted to displace the mandible of the patient by a second predetermined geometry relative to the maxilla of the patient. In a specific embodiment, the first predetermined geometry is substantially different from the second predetermined geometry. Preferably, either one of the first appliance or at least the second appliance is worn by the patient based upon a predetermined treatment plan that includes one or more provisions for wearing at least the first and the second appliances.

Abstract: A method for improved visualization of information related to the physiology of a sleeping patient is disclosed. Physiological information from the patient is obtained by a device, converted to digital format, and transformed into physiological data of two or more types. Physiological data of two or more types are combined into a compact graphical display representing data from all physiological data types.

Abstract: A method for evaluating sleep disorders in mammals and distributing control information related to the sleep disorders through electronic communication networks. The method includes acquiring analog information related to physiological signals through a mobile device from a mammal user. The mammal user is at a geographic location outside of a sleep laboratory staffed by trained technicians. The mobile device is coupled to a sensing device, which is coupled to monitoring region(s) of the mammal. The method includes converting the analog information into a digital format using a signal processing device and transmitting information related to the physiological signals in the digital format to one or more service computers through an electronic communications network. Each of the service computers is operably coupled to a health information service facility. The method determines if the mammal user has related control information at one of the health information service facilities.
