Obstructive sleep apnea detection remote-controlled ultrasound system AmCAD-UO

robotic

Obstructive sleep apnea is a potentially serious sleep disorder. It causes breathing to repeatedly stop and start during sleep. CURRENT DETECTION METHODS The most common detection method is polysomnography, which suffers from a number of disadvantages PSG requires overnight testing at a sleep center or static location. Patients can wait up to 6 months for PSG at a sleep center. Uncomfortable overnight stay affects the quality of sleep. Simple tossing and turning during sleep can loosen electrode patches and affect signals AmCAD-UO offers 10-minute detection for obstructive sleep apnea on awake patients, helping doctors to evaluate the root cause of sleep apnea and offer assessment for moderate/severe OSA patients. With laser-guided positioning, AmCAD-UO can precisely scan upper airway and analyze the gap between normal breathing and Müller Maneuver models. AmCAD-UO system standardizes ultrasound transducer scanning to reduce intra-observer variations and make the assessment consistent. CURRENT TREATMENTS CHALLENGES Effectiveness is difficult to evaluate for different OSA treatments leading to low compliance rate Noncompliance rate up to 68% AmCAD-UO COMPANION DIAGNOSTICS Immediate 3D Anatomic Airway Assessment for Treatment Evaluation Laser-Guided Positioning and Automated Scanning Collect and Analyze Ultrasound Images 3D Airway Assessment Assessment report
