The Effects of CPAP Therapy on Sleep Quality, Deep Sleep and Arousals
Dr. Saar Lanir-Azaria¹ 1 Dormotech Medical Introduction Sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBDs), including obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), are highly prevalent and associated with substantial morbidity1. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) and the European Respiratory Society recommend continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy as the first-line treatment for moderate-to-severe OSA due to its proven efficacy in reducing […]
Computer-Based Detection of Cheyne–Stokes Breathing Using Dormotech Home Sleep Monitoring
Dr. Saar Lanir-Azaria¹ and Prof. Ofer Barnea² 1 Dormotech Medical 2 Tel Aviv University Introduction Cheyne-Stokes Breathing (CSB) is a distinctive manifestation of central sleep apnea (CSA), characterized by a cyclical waxing and waning pattern of ventilation culminating in central apneas or hypopneas. This stereotyped oscillation in respiratory drive reflects an underlying instability in the ventilatory control system, driven by enhanced […]
Combined Head-Body Positional Effects on Obstructive Sleep Apnea Severity: An Exploratory Case Study
Noa Scheinowitz¹, Dr. Saar Lanir-Azaria¹ 1 Dormotech Medical Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly heterogeneous disorder characterized by dynamic upper-airway collapse during sleep, with disease expression strongly modulated by sleep posture. Among the recognized phenotypic subtypes, positional obstructive sleep apnea (POSA) represents one of the most prevalent and clinically relevant forms, wherein respiratory instability is markedly […]
Concordance of AI-Assisted Sleep Scoring with Expert Manual Scoring
Chen Zusman¹, Dr. Saar Lanir-Azaria¹ 1 Dormotech Medical Abstract The Dormo Sleep Staging AI research is an ongoing research effort focused on developing a clinically grounded, automated sleep staging model for polysomnographic (PSG) recordings acquired in both home and laboratory environments. The proposed framework leverages multimodal physiological data, including EEG, EOG, chin EMG, respiratory airflow and effort signals, […]
