FDA Clears Mandibular Jaw Movement-Based Home Sleep Test

The tool, which makes use of expert system to help in the medical diagnosis of obstructive rest apnea and also various other sleep-related breathing problems, makes use of mandibular jaw activities signal along with the typical signals of air movement and also oximetry.
