Abstract: A sleep position trainer (1) has a normal operational mode for alerting when a posture of the body detected by the position sensor (34) corresponds with an undesired body posture. The sleep position trainer further comprises a non-movement timer (t1) for timing a non-movement period of the user wearing the sleep position trainer. An output signal is send to an alert unit in case that a posture of the body detected by a position sensor (34) corresponds with a body posture when a threshold value of the non-movement timer (t1) of at least 15 minutes is exceeded.

Abstract: Sleep trainer (1) comprising a band (2) with two electrodes (21), (22) for carrying out an impedance measurement and a monitor (3) for receiving a measurement signal. The band has a band pocket (23). An electrical connection is obtained by inserting the monitor (3) into the band pocket (23). Band contact points ((210),220) are provided inside the band pocket (23). Monitor contact points (31), (32) are provided at an external surface of the monitor housing (30). The monitor contact points are flat and hardly protrude above the monitor housing. The band pocket (23) prevents a lateral movement of the monitor and a band pocket wall (231) exerts a pressing force to keep the monitor contact points (31), (32) in an abutting engagement with the band contact points (210), (220). Advantageously, the sleep trainer provides a high level of wearing comfort which contributes to a sleep disorder treatment compliance.

Abstract: Mandibular advancement device to adjust a lower jaw in an advanced position with respect to an upper jaw of a user. The device comprises a maxillary splint with a first and second splint body end portion and a splint bridge portion and further a mandibular splint which is coupled to the maxillary splint by a positioning structure. The device comprises an electronics module which is subdivided into a first set of electronic components which is positioned at the first splint body end portion and a second set of electronic components which is positioned at the second splint body end portion. The spaced sets at both ends of the maxillary splint are electronically interconnected to form the electronics module. Herewith, the device has a smooth and compact configuration which is convenient to wear for several hours during a sleep therapy.

Abstract: A sleep posture alerting method is provided, wherein the sleep posture of a person is detected. The person is automatically alerted by a stimulus generated by an alerting device when the sleep posture is out of a predetermined body posture range. A stimulus variation is effected by the alerting device.
