Abstract: Embodiments detect obstructive sleep apnea (“OSA”) by a user. Embodiments receive audio data emanating from the user while the user is sleeping, the audio data including multiple distinct frequency bands. Embodiments analyze the audio data to detect patterns in frequency content that matches two or more formants of a plurality of formants, the two or more formants indicating a position of a tongue of the user. Based on the analyzing, embodiments determine when the tongue has moved from a forward position to a rear position in an oral cavity of the user. Embodiments generate a signal indicating an OSA episode when it is determined that the tongue has moved from a forward position to a rear position.

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.
