Abstract: One aspect of the present disclosure relates to a system that provides an alternative to traditional treatments for sleep apnea. The system allows to apply an electrical stimulus through an electrode to stimulate an afferent nerve fiber while a patient is sleeping. The system also includes activating an endogenous central nervous system (CNS)-regulated reflex response to coordinate upper airway muscles based on the stimulation of the afferent nerve fiber. Based on the endogenous CNS-regulated reflex response, an airway patency in the sleeping patient can be regulated.

Abstract: A light therapy device includes a first module adapted to be coupled to a head of an individual, and a second module including at least one light, the second module being coupled to the first module so that the second module is positioned relative to the individual's eyes, and the second module powering the light to provide indirect light therapy to the individual.

Abstract: A multichannel wireless telemetry system is disclosed. The system includes a transmitter and a receiver in communication with the transmitter. The transmitter includes a signal processing chip. The signal processing chip includes a plurality of input preamplifiers, a plurality of selective second amplifiers, a subcarrier oscillator connected to the selective second amplifiers, a timing circuit connected to the subcarrier oscillator, a calibration circuit connected to the timing circuit, and a 1-of-several decoder connected to the timing circuit. Each selective second amplifier is connected to a different input preamplifier.
