SLEEPING PILLOW FOR ALLEVIATING A SLEEP APNEA

摘要

The invention relates to a sleeping pillow (10) for alleviating a sleep apnea. The sleeping pillow (10) comprises an adjusting means system, which can be actuated for changing the position of a head located on the sleeping pillow (10) by way of a control device (23), and which has sensor means (21, 16) for detecting the position of a head. The control device (23) is configured such that in addition, sensor means signals from further sensor means (46, 48, 50, 52, 53) for detecting breathing activities of a person can be detected. In order to alleviate or avoid a sleep apnea of a person using the sleeping pillow (10), the further sensor means (46, 48, 50, 52, 53), according to the invention, comprise sensors for detecting the breathing frequency or breathing movements on the chest of the person, or sensors for detecting the nose dynamic pressure of a person, and the adjusting means system can be actuated subject to the sensor means signals of the further sensor means (46, 48, 50, 52, 53).
