This book addresses novel methods to treat a very popular disease,
obstructive sleep apnea, based on a knowledge of an electrical
engineering. Two approaches are given in the book using an
upper-airway stimulation based on the pathogenesis of an
obstructive sleep apnea. Implantable electronics are devised to
control the tongue and the soft palate considering that they are
the major pharyngeal muscles contributing to the apnea. First, for
tongue control, a cuff electrode was designed and fabricated to
stimulate the hypoglossal nerve, which innervates to the tongue
muscle. Rare-earth magnets were embedded in the cuff for easy and
repeatable installation of the electrode. For soft palate control,
a palatal implant system was firstly developed to contract the soft
palate muscle by applying electrical stimuli. Comprised of an
implant, an intra-oral device, and an external controller, the
palatal implant system is fully powered and controlled by means of
wireless communication. The approaches were demonstrated in both in
vitro and in vivo assessments, in collaboration with department of
Otorhinolaryngology, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital.
