Sleep apnea affects an estimated 15 percent of adults nationwide. It’s a disease that affects mostly men in the mid to late part of life about 40 years of age but also younger people can be affected by that too. The new device Dr. Behbehani has been working on, uses ultra sound signals to detect the upper air way occlusion during sleep. The new device is very easy to handle that patients would be able to attach themselves for overnight monitoring from the convenience of their own bed. Sleep apnea is very difficult to detect and might cause heart attacks.
