Development of Sleep Apnea Device by detection of blood pressure and heart rate measurement

A condition during the sleep of a person, in which a period of a hitch or pause in breathing occurs is termed as "Sleep Apnea", which is a very common but potentially serious sleep disorder. In this paper, development of a bio-medical non-invasive device is presented for recognition and measurement of this disorder. The blood pressure and heartbeat patterns are obtained from various sensors by regularly monitoring the changes in them and when a dip in the relevant monitoring values is observed, the proposed device generates mild impulse of current which is sufficient to make the patient awake and save them from a possible fatality (mid sleep death). A basic user-friendly mobile application has also been developed for the purpose of monitoring by a remote user also.
