BASH-GN: A New Machine Learning–Derived Questionnaire for Screening Obstructive Sleep Apnea
BASH-GN is a machine learning-based questionnaire designed to classify the risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by considering various risk factor subtypes. Compared with other commonly used OSA screening tools, the BASH-GN questionnaire demonstrated superior performance, making it a more effective option for identifying at-risk individuals. This questionnaire...

Deep Learning Algorithm for Detection of Cortical Arousal During Sleep
This invention is an end-to-end deep learning algorithm to detect cortical arousals during sleep using a one-night single lead electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. It is used to accurately detect arousal in home sleep tests, by reducing the false negative rate. The model combines both convolutional neural networks (CNN) and recurrent neural networks (RNN).
Background:
Sleep...

Tributyrin to Entain Human Circadian Rhythms and Improve Sleep in Individuals with Medical Disorders that can Increase Gut Permeability or Elevated Levels of Systemic Inflammation
This documents a new method of treatment for sleep improvements. Poor sleep is likely manifested by an underlying irregular circadian rhythm sleep disorder. A patient with a history of leaky gut syndrome and poor sleep took a commercially available oral short-chain fatty acid supplement, tributyrin, and documented improved sleep. This suggests a relationship...

Green-Enhancer Glasses
This invention is an optical filter which blocks out blue light and only allows green to pass through, increasing the relative amount of green light that passes through. This filter can be used on prescription and non-prescription glasses, as well as on coverings for lamps and light bulbs. Green light in the morning can rehabilitate the circadian system...

Circadian Rhythm Restoring Blue Blockers
This technology is for glasses that are to be worn at night to block harmful blue light from artificial light sources. Specifically, these glasses block wavelengths associated with circadian-active light, which causes melatonin suppression. This intervention restores the endogenous rhythms of users and leads to better sleep patterns.
Background:
With...

Blue-Enhancer Glasses
Because of the huge increase in the amount of blue light consumed by the average individual due to myriad factors including society’s dependence on phones, tablets, and computers, blue light blocking glasses are becoming commonplace. Not only do blue light suppressing glasses decrease some of the stress on an individuals’ eyes, but the decrease...

Kappa Opioid Receptor Antagonists for Sleep Disorders
Researchers at UArizona have discovered that kappa opioid receptors influence sleep in mice struggling with chronic pain. In particular they found that a kappa opioid receptor antagonist could be beneficial for improvement of sleep related to pain conditions, as well as other conditions where increased kappa opioid receptor signaling has been observed....

Circadian Responses to Light-Flash Exposure: Conceptualization and Data Guiding Future Directions
Though perhaps not often thought of first, the circadian system in the human body is essential to important daily and cyclical bodily functions including: hormone release, temperature control, eating habits, mood, sleep, etc. Those circadian responses in the human body are primarily triggered by light exposure. There is a body of research surrounding...
