Scientists have invented a high-tech ring that promises to get rid of snoring. Made of silicone, it contains a sensor that monitors the oxygen level in the blood.
Unique high-tech ring worn on your finger at night, can diagnose sleep apnea is a dangerous disorder that increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Frequently this disorder is accompanied by strong snoring. It occurs at the moment when air passes through the larynx, the muscles which cease to contract and hinder its progress. As a result, as if a person is choking for a few seconds before my brain gives the command again to stretch the muscles. The passage of air through the blocked throat and causes the sounds of snoring.
Traditionally, sleep apnea is treated using a special oxygen mask under pressure, which leaves the Airways open during sleep. But first disorder to be diagnosed, and then you’ll have to wear a mask during sleep, which many people just do not like. Until recently, diagnosis of sleep apnea was not too careful with home remedies, including strong tape around your chest to assess breathing, activity monitors heart, respiration sensors on the face and a special oxygen sensor on the index finger. It was also possible to spend one night in a special somnological clinic for polysomnography, which measured a variety of indicators of the human body during sleep.
The ring can be much more convenient and comfortable way of diagnosis. It is made of silicone and is provided with various sensors that control the change in the level of oxygen in the blood of the patient during sleep. The fall in the level is one of the main symptoms of sleep apnea. This decline is caused by collapse of the larynx, because of which the volume of incoming blood flow of oxygen is reduced. (READ MORE)
