Abstract: A patient position monitor comprises an oral appliance and an electronic circuit module. The oral appliance is adapted to be held in a fixed location within the patient's mouth, typically being removably secured to the patient's teeth. Orientation circuitry detects patient's position and sends an alarm to the patient when the patient assumes a supine position and is at particular risk of snoring or sleep apnea.
