Abstract: A musical instrument therapy device for providing strengthening therapy for sleep apnea treatment. Utilization of the device can help to strengthen the user's muscles of the throat and tongue, which can help the user to maintain an open airway during sleep (reduce airway collapse) and prevent airway blockages, thereby reducing the chance of obstructed breathing during sleep. The musical instrument therapy device comprises: a tubular body defining an air column; a mouthpiece located at a first end of the tubular body configured to receive a blow input; a mute located at a second end of the tubular body configured to mute the blow input; a plurality of sensors configured to obtain measurements associated with the blow input; a processing unit configured to make one or more determinations associated with blow input based on the obtained measurements; and an indicator configured to display an indication of the one or more determinations.

Abstract: An apparatus for providing tongue stabilization during oral appliance therapy. The tongue stabilization apparatus is configured to hold a user's tongue in place or prohibit it from dropping back posteriorly, thereby stabilizing the user's tongue in a non-obstructive position through sleep, which can help to prevent the user from experiencing obstructive sleep apnea.

Abstract: A system and method for providing dynamic 3-D anatomical visualizations generates a 3D visualization of a patient's airway that may be dynamically transformed to characterize changes to the airway (e.g., as the patient breathes, when patient performs a Mueller's manoeuvre, and/or in response to mandibular repositioning). The 3D visualization is generated based on an integration of static 3D image data and acoustic reflection measurements of the airway determined and provided by an acoustic reflection measurement device. The movements or changes to the region of interest may be determined based on real-time dynamic readings taken by the acoustic reflection measurement device, and the 3D visualization may be transformed in real-time or near real-time stream based on the dynamic readings. The transformation of the 3D visualization provides an animated visualization of the airway.

Abstract: A system, method and appliance provides sleep-related disorder data collection, assessment, and visual representation. The appliance may be configured to be worn during a sleep cycle of an individual and may include or be operatively connected to various sensors that collect physiological data of the individual during the sleep cycle. Aspects of the system are configured to correlate data obtained from various sensors/data sources during an individual's sleep cycle, determine relevant events associated with sleep-related disorders based on the obtained data, provide summaries and information about the determined relevant events, and generate and provide dynamic visualizations of the individual's anatomy corresponding to the determined relevant events. A dynamic visualization may include a 3D model of the individual's airway and mandibular anatomy that, when played back, morphs to represent dynamics of the individual's anatomy during the relevant event.
