Individuals with certain sleep disorders (e.g. narcolepsy) are subject to uncontrollable sleep episodes accompanied by cataplexy and thus these patients are more vulnerable to household and occupational accidents. Currently, narcolepsy has no cure, and this research pursues developing a portable medical device to assist in narcolepsy treatment through providing diagnosis, real-time detection and logging of narcolepsy episodes.
患有某些睡眠障碍(如发作性睡病)的个体容易出现伴有猝倒的无法控制的睡眠发作,因此这些患者更容易发生家庭和职业事故。目前,发作性睡病无法治愈,本研究致力于开发一种便携式医疗设备,通过提供发作性睡病发作的诊断、实时检测和记录来辅助发作性睡病的治疗。
