Abstract:
Individuals with certain sleep disorders (e.g. narcolepsy) are subject to uncontrollable sleep episodes accompanied by cataplexy and thus these patients are more vulnerable to household and occupational accidents. Currently, narcolepsy has no cure, and this research pursues developing a portable medical device to assist in narcolepsy treatment through providing diagnosis, real-time detection and logging of narcolepsy episodes.
