title: Central sleep apnea detection and stimulation.
abstract: This paper proposes a system to detect and intervene in instances of central sleep apnea. The system is composed of a detection module and a stimulation module, which provides sensory stimulation to the patient when an apnea event has occurred. The system is currently in prototype and has not yet undergone patient trials.
