Abstract: Embodiments treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) of a user. Embodiments affix a patch externally on a dermis of the user, the patch including a flexible substrate, a processor coupled to the substrate, and an array of electrodes coupled to the substrate, the array of electrodes including a plurality of electrode pairs in different geometric positions on the substrate. Embodiments detect an occurrence of OSA. In response to the detecting, embodiments generate a first electrical stimuli to one or more nerves or tissues of the user via a first selected subset of pairs of the plurality of electrode pairs. Embodiments generate a second electrical stimuli to one or more nerves or tissues of the user via a second selected subset of pairs of the plurality of electrode pairs sequentially after generating the first electrical stimuli, where the first selected subset of pairs are different than the second selected subset of pairs.

Abstract: Example inventions detect and treat an occurrence of an apnea event during a sleep period of a user. Example inventions receive data corresponding to nasal air pressure of the user and/or audio of the user during the sleep period. Example inventions determine patterns in the data, based on the patterns, detect the apnea event and, in response to the detecting, treat the apnea event.

Abstract: One example provides a nerve stimulation treatment using electrodes coupled to a user. Examples determine a target charge level and output a series of pulses from the electrodes. For each pulse outputted, examples measure a charge value of the pulse and compare the charge value to the target charge level. If the charge value is greater than the target charge level, examples reduce a strength level of a subsequent outputted pulse. If the charge value is less than the target charge level, examples increase the strength level of a subsequent outputted pulse.

Examples receive data corresponding to a single parameter of the user during the sleep period, determine patterns in the data, and based on the patterns, determine a sleep disturbance severity index (“SDSI”) over the sleep period.
