AMBULATORY WIRELESS SLEEP MONITOR

描述：(申请人摘要)本第二阶段提案的具体目标 是开发并临床测试一种微型移动无线睡眠监测器 (AWSM)。它将拥有最先进的基本能力 临床多谱勒成像系统，但没有它们的缺点，如 需要使用Long将患者硬连线连接到固定机器 引线。这项功能对老年人和年轻人特别有益 病人。此外，拟议系统的成本将大大低于 目前可用的商业系统，因为AWSM使用标准PC 它的数据记录和显示技术。另一项重要的成本节约 AWSM的好处是医院或诊所中任何合适的房间都可以 轻松转换为睡眠实验室，无需昂贵的重新布线。 所提出的系统使用一个小型放大器/发射机和一个小型接收器。 连接到一台个人计算机，该计算机距离 主题。这将是一种经济、方便、无线的动态监测 用于实时测量生物电信号和呼吸信号的系统。AWSM 系统将进行广泛的测试，并与标准临床系统进行比较 在4个不同的睡眠实验室。 建议的商业应用：不可用

DESCRIPTION: (Applicant's abstract) The specific goal of this Phase II proposal is to develop and clinically test a miniature ambulatory wireless sleep monitor (AWSM). It will have the essential capabilities of the state-of-the art clinical polysonmographical systems, but without their shortcomings such as the need for hardwired connection of the patients to stationary machines using long leadwires. This feature is especially beneficial for elderly and young patients. Also, the cost of the proposed system will be considerably less than the currently available commercial systems because AWSM utilizes standard PC technology for its data recording and display. Another important cost-saving benefit of AWSM is that any suitable room in the hospital or the clinic can be easily converted to a sleep lab without the requirement of expensive rewiring. The proposed system uses a miniature amplifier/transmitter and a small receiver attached to a personal computer that can be up to 50 meters away from the subject. It will be an economical, convenient, wireless, ambulatory monitoring system for real-time measuring of bioelectric and respiratory signals. The AWSM system will be tested extensively and compared with standard clinical systems at 4 different sleep laboratories. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION: NOT AVAILABLE
