Improving sleep disordered breathing diagnosis and therapy is what we do.

The amplitude of the signal JawAc (or Mandibular Movement – MM) is perfectly correlated to the intensity of the neural respiratory drive (EMGd Diaphragm activity).

JawAc recordings during one night estimate a similar RDI compared with traditional PSG in a group of symptomatic patients of all ages with or without co-morbidities. Moreover, the risk of misidentifying mild OSAS subjects as being normal remains very low

Midsagittal jaw movements analysis is a reliable method to measure sleep. In healthy and OSA adults, this device proved to be superior to actigraphy in terms of estimation of all sleep parameters and distinction of sleep-wake status.

Cheyne Stokes Breathing (CSB) is a poor prognosis condition that should be screened for in patients with heart failure or other severe neurological or kidney diseases. A simple device that detects jaw activities can accurately identify patients with CSB.

Mouth opening as a consequence of the lowering of the mandible is often observed when a child struggles to breathe against partial or complete upper airway obstruction.

Effectiveness of mandibular advancement device (MAD) therapy can be simply measured by midsagittal jaw activity during sleep.

Mouth opening associated with unintentional leaks may dramatically impact CPAP algorithm. Nomics proposes an innovative method for characterizing the determining factors of unintentional leak in patients with OSAS treated with CPAP.

SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND SAVE YOUR SLEEP

When an efficient CPAP pressure is applied, the mouth is almost closed and stable, like in healthy patients. Jawac signal is a simple and reliable indicator of CPAP effectiveness.

The use of the Jawac signal gives a Respiratory Disturbance Index closer to the Gold PSG than conventional Home Sleep Tests.
