  • Publication number: 20200337886
    Abstract: Systems and methods for performing a multi-test-period titration for oral appliance therapy are described herein. A system includes a mandibular displacement device configured to be positioned in an oral cavity of a subject, a monitoring unit configured to sense one or more physiological inputs from the subject; and a control unit. The system is configured to configure at least one of the mandibular displacement device or the monitoring unit during the diagnostic sleep test protocol, perform the diagnostic sleep test protocol, configure at least one of the mandibular displacement device or the monitoring unit during the titration for oral appliance therapy protocol, and perform the titration for oral appliance therapy protocol.

  • Patent number: 10709599
    Abstract: Systems and methods for setting one or more parameters for a multi-test-period titration for oral appliance therapy are described herein. A method can include performing a titration for oral appliance therapy during a first test period, identifying a variable associated with the titration performed during the first test period, and setting a parameter for a titration for oral appliance therapy to be performed during a second test period. The parameter can be dependent on the variable associated with the titration performed during the first test period. The method can also include performing the titration for oral appliance therapy during the second test period, and establishing an outcome of oral appliance therapy based on the titrations performed during the first and second test periods.

  • Publication number: 20190246975
    Abstract: Provided herein are systems, methods and devices for performing one or more titrations for oral appliance therapy. For example, a method for evaluating an outcome of oral appliance therapy in a subject is discussed herein. The method can include positioning an adjustable mandibular displacement device in an oral cavity of a subject and implementing an automatic titration protocol. The protocol can include controlling a protrusion level of the adjustable mandibular displacement device during a test period, monitoring physiological information from the subject during the test period, and analyzing the physiological information to evaluate the outcome of oral appliance therapy.
