Abstract
A system integrating temperature, pressure and voice sensors is proposed for a smart oral appliance for use in diagnosing and alleviating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Using sealed bio-compatible packaging for intraoral use, this system is also capable of wireless charging and data transmission. This proposed design aims to enhance the effectiveness and convenience of OSA treatment.
