Nexense sensor detection validation
SleepLab Snore Detection ValidationThe validation used polysomnography as the golden standard for detection of snoring events with a calibrated microphone. The subject underwent a short polysomnography examination. During the examination, the Nexaver TM SleePure sensor was placed below the subject's mattress.
The data from both sources was recorded and compared simultaneously.
Figure 01 – Illustrates that the detection of the snore activity by the Nexaver TM SleePure System Corresponds with the high level detection associated with the Golden Standards Polysomnography Microphone.
Figure 02 – Describes the high sensitivity of the microphone technique miscellaneous acoustic noise false detection of snore versus the SleePure System that is not affected by acoustic noise.

U.S. patent awarded for precision measurement method and device.
August 4th, 2004
Nexense has been awarded U.S. Patent No. 6,621,278 for its unique method of measuring predetermined parameters, such as temperature, acceleration, pressure, distance and other physical entities.
The patent, titled "High-Precision Measuring Method and Apparatus," can be applied across a variety of industries including health, communications, aviation, space, defense and automotive.
"Traditionally, the cost of a sensor system would increase in direct proportion to higher precision and sensitivity," said Arik Ariav, CEO and president, Nexense. "As a result of our patent and our core technology platform, Nexense can now develop sensors and sensor-based systems...

The Nexense Measurement Method
By applying the known principles of physics in a unique way, Nexense has managed to improve a measurement method, which has led to a means of improving a broad variety of sensors, used among other things to detect, recognize and discontinue snoring.
Nexense’s measurement method enables sensors to be designed so that they are up to
100,000 times more sensitive than current sensors.
The Nexense measurement method enables many different physical parameters to be more accurately measured. Specifically, they have been shown to provide a significant improvement over traditional sensors for the following physical parameters: distance, weight, strain, pressure, acceleration, temperature, vibration, volume, viscosity, density, mass, displacement, flow, torque, shape, tilt, and more.
Snoring has been found to increase in frequency with age. Snorers are commonly overweight and frustrated by the social consequences of their noisy night-time resonance. Sleep disordered breathing including habitual snoring is associated with hypertension, heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, and daytime sleepiness.
Using the non-invasive Nexense technology (The SleePure ) we have tried and managed to reduce dramatically the amount of snoring in a matter of days. (Figure 1)
Figures 2: shows data recorded during sleep, which includes heart rate, respirations, movements, and snores. The sensor is placed under the mattress and records the user’s movements, heart rate, respiration and snores. It allows the evaluating of the amplitude and rate of these indexes in detail. The highly accurate sensing method enables us to identify the different components, in a way that once the sensor documents the vibration of a snore, a vibrator starts to shake around the wrist of the person. The shake is gentle enough not to bring the person to full consciousness, yet he stops snoring. During the last years we performed sleep studies on 30 patients known as "snorers" during 500 nights all together.
Figure 3 shows the number of snore's episodes during 5 days with and without the SleePure system.
We succeeded to achieved a dramatic reduction in the number and the intensity of snores.We conclude that by using the Nexense SleePure system we can reduce the number and duration of the snoring episodes and improve the quality of sleep in the snoring population and we will soon perform a controlled study to prove it.
Nexense Ltd. Sleep Apnea
INTRODUCING THE NEXAVERSLEEP APNEA CARE SYSTEM
A New Effective Non-Intrusive Alternative Treatment for Sleep Apnea .
General:
Currently, Sleep Apnea is treated with a CPAP. This device is known to be a very uncomfortable and cumbersome piece of machinery that causes a significant number of apnea patients to refrain from complying with their doctor’s orders in wearing the CPAP mask. A long list of common problems supplied by CPAP users discourages many people of using it despite the fact that these people are aware of their need to use it.
The Break Through:
Nexense has developed an effective and unique system for treating sleep apnea that uses biofeedback methodology. This system does not change the user’s habits, the user does not have to wear any mask on his face and the user’s quality of sleep may also be upgraded as the system is capable of treating the common sleep disturbance closely related to sleep apnea known as snoring.
Additional Advantages:
The Nexense product can also be used as a home sleep lab system where the user can get his/her sleep analyzed in the comfort in his/her own home without being connected to any electrodes. This allows for a thorough examination over time which can result is a more accurate diagnosis of the user’s true sleep problem . Nexense has also developed the software needed for automatic screening and sleep analysis.
Business Opportunity:
Nexense is looking for strategic business partners to promote its technology in this field and to collaborate with the right player in order to move forward in attaining FDA approval and for market distribution purposes.
