DESCRIPTION:Medical wearable device and design\n\nTopic 1: Accurate Sleep M
 onitoring (Don Aoki)\n\nSeventy million Americans have a sleep disorder\, 
 costing the US $411 billion annually. Untreated obstructive sleep apnea (O
 SA) can lead to stroke\, chronic heart failure\, high blood pressure\, and
  other cardiovascular problems\, and is a factor in many traffic and workp
 lace accidents.\n\nA definitive tool for determining the presence of sleep
  apnea is polysomnography\, or a sleep study\, conducted in a sleep lab or
  at home. An overnight in-lab study is the most accurate and comprehensive
 \, but it is also the most expensive and inconvenient for the patient\, re
 quiring an overnight stay in an unfamiliar bed with multiple uncomfortable
  electrodes and sensor attachments. A home sleep test (HST) uses a portabl
 e medical device with a subset of in-lab sensors to detect breathing patte
 rns and permits the patient to sleep in their own bed (reducing the first 
 night effect). An HST is a fraction of the cost of an in-lab study. In bot
 h cases\, a sleep study is intrusive\, a one-time snapshot of breathing pa
 tterns\, scored by medical professionals\, expensive and time-consuming\, 
 taking up to six months from initial visit to primary care physician to re
 ceive results.\n\nSomnology’s Plex® Sleep Scanner provides a third appr
 oach for sleep disorder assessment\, home sleep assessment and monitoring 
 (HSAM). It is a wearable\, easy-to-use\, and comfortable digital healthcar
 e device with integrated medical grade sensors to collect sleep metrics\, 
 instantly delivered to a smartphone and providers.\n\nTopic 2: Wearable de
 vice design issues\, challenges and solution (Walt Maclay)\n\nAbstract: Sm
 art wearables are emerging as one of the key drivers of the tech economy a
 nd hold the promise to add value to virtually every industry - from retail
  to industrial manufacturing and medical devices. In this talk\, Walt Macl
 ay will discuss the range of components that allow these wearables to oper
 ate\, including the sensors that perform physiological measurements. He wi
 ll address the many design challenges in implementing these measurements a
 nd discuss the design of A/R glasses as an example.\n\nCo-sponsored by: de
