The proposed research is related to Sleep Apnea. Sleep apnea is a respiratory disorder in the form of cessation of breath flow during sleep. Sleep apnea often goes undiagnosed and becomes apparent when it reaches the severe category. Severe sleep apnea can cause heart disease, depression and even death. Diagnosis and treatment of patients with severe sleep apnea is expensive and access has become increasingly difficult due to the pandemic.<\/p>\n Therefore, the team designed a non-invasive sleep apnea detector with mechanical sensors. To increase user comfort, the device is designed in the form of a sleeping pillow with memory foam material that is sturdy but still comfortable to use during sleep.<\/p>\n
