Snoring not only affects the people around you, but also affects your own sleep quality. According to relevant studies, snoring is not a good sign of sleep, but a sign of physical discomfort during sleep.

Why do people snore when they sleep? Ordinary snoring is mostly caused by narrowed airways, enlarged tonsils, etc.. Generally speaking, it is actually poor breathing. Snoring can be caused by a variety of reasons:

1. Go to bed when you drink, drink before going to bed, the effect of alcohol will “paralyze” the muscles of the throat and relax, which is easy to cause snoring;

2. Stay up all night, stay up all night, sleep to the extreme, and sleep deeply, the muscles of the whole body are instantly relaxed, which in turn causes snoring;

3. Drink less water, and the throat is dry and congested, which is also easy to cause snoring;

4. Cold and stuffy nose, blocked nasal passages, shortness of breath with mouth, causing snoring;

5. Improper sleeping position, lying down and leaning back when sleeping, tongue falling back, blocking the throat and causing snoring.

If you have been troubled by snoring for a long time, or you have been troubled by the snoring of the person next to your pillow for a long time, you can take these methods to relieve the symptoms of snoring.

1. Insist on massaging the four health acupoints of Zhongwan, Yinlingquan, Tianshu and Fenglong every day;

2. Avoid smoking and drinking, because smoking can aggravate respiratory symptoms, and drinking can aggravate snoring, nighttime breathing disorders and hypoxemia;

3. Clean your mouth every night before going to bed, such as gargling, brushing your teeth, etc., which can effectively reduce snoring;

4. Choose a pillow with moderate softness and hardness, and the pillow should not be placed too high, which is conducive to comfortable breathing;

5. Take the sleeping position in the lateral position, especially the right lateral position;

6. Lose weight. Losing a little weight can reduce the fat tissue in the back of the throat and reduce or even stop snoring.

However, if the above methods have no effect after trying, or there is abnormal snoring, such as strong or irregular snoring, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible to see if it is suffering from sleep apnea syndrome. Listen to the doctor, get timely treatment and sleep well.

Plus1Health has a free snoring app “Snore Tracker“, which can be downloaded and used in the mobile app store. There is also a sleep recorder device that can do sleep monitoring and screen for sleep apnea syndrome.

Sleep apnea syndrome is a very troublesome sleep breathing disease. The main clinical manifestations of patients are sleep snoring at night with apnea and daytime sleepiness. This disease may also cause complications such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, and diabetes. Even some patients will die suddenly at night, so what methods will be used in the clinical diagnosis of this disease?

The first inspection must be carried out by a routine ENT specialist. The nose, pharynx, throat, and tongue are all parts that must be inspected. Through these inspections, doctors can roughly determine the patient’s basic symptoms.

Secondly, the patient must cooperate with the doctor to perform a cranial X-ray examination. The main purpose of this examination is to locate the position of the hyoid bone and the length of the soft palate. It is an indicator that guides the obstruction of the bony structure of our upper airway and whether surgical intervention is required, such as guiding the operation of the hyoid bone.

Next, CT and MRI examinations are required. This examination allows the doctor to understand the sagittal diameter, transverse diameter, and the thickness of the soft tissue in the airway, and then can judge the level of obstruction for subsequent surgical treatment and other treatments. The plan provides an important basis.

Finally, the patient must cooperate with the doctor to carry out fiberoptic endoscopy. The fiberoptic endoscopy is mainly to check the obstruction plane of the nasopharyngeal and throat in the patient. The patient is required to lie on the mattress for continuous monitoring for 6 hours, and a complete The data can identify whether the patient has central apnea or peripheral apnea, which is of great significance for the diagnosis of sleep apnea syndrome.

The above four inspection methods can help patients diagnose sleep apnea syndrome, but for various reasons, the operation is not very convenient.Plus1Health has professional sleep monitoring equipment, which can perform sleep monitoring and sleep apnea syndrome screening. It can also be done at home. It is easy to operate and can produce sleep monitoring reports in real time.

Each patient will have different clinical symptoms, so the examination methods applied are also different. It is required that after the patient finds that he has relevant symptoms, he should immediately go to the hospital to cooperate with the doctor for examination, and then according to the examination results, determine the next treatment plan.

Many people now suffer from breathing and sleep disorders, such as sleep apnea syndrome. In order to understand the condition and give a reasonable treatment plan, sleep apnea monitoring is usually required. So, which groups of people are suitable for sleep breathing monitoring?

1. People who always snore while sleeping

Sleep apnea monitoring is usually required if you are always snoring during sleep or are accompanied by significant sleep asymmetry.

2. People with unexplained daytime sleepiness

People with unexplained daytime sleepiness also need sleep apnea monitoring. If you don’t sleep well the night before, you will often feel sleepy during the day the next day, but if you get enough sleep, you may have sleep apnea disease, and you should do sleep apnea monitoring in time.

3. People with obvious arrhythmia at night

If there is obvious arrhythmia at night, it is likely to be caused by sleep apnea syndrome, and sleep breathing monitoring should be done in time.

4. People with refractory hypertension

General high blood pressure can be effectively controlled by taking only 1~2 kinds of drugs, but some hypertensive patients are still unable to control it after taking more than three kinds of drugs. This situation is refractory hypertension. People also need to do sleep breathing monitoring.

Plus1Health has sleep recorder, which is used for non-contact detection of human heart rate, respiration rate, and sleep statu, equipped with Tinew cloud platform and “Plus1Health” APP.Ready to use, monitor when you lie down, report when you wake up, easy to operate, no contact with human skin, comfortable and non-sensing; no signal transmission from sensors, no radiation, safe and reliable for human body; low-power design, USB power supply, safe and environmentally friendly ; Real-time detection, real-time analysis, real-time early warning. Sleep records also include screening for sleep apnea, preventing disease risks, and providing data basis and analysis for targeted improvement of sleep quality.

Many people know that snoring is a manifestation of sleep apnea. But many parents don’t think that children’s snoring may also be sleep-disordered breathing, and this disease is not only for adults. Clinically, the children who come to see the doctor are as old as teens and as young as a few months. Many children are because of frequent nasal congestion, tonsil inflammation, or because of poor academic performance, slow growth in height, easy to be excited, and prone to hair loss. Temper, inattention and other manifestations, transfer from other departments to respiratory department or sleep department.

Children frequently suffer from sleep apnea, which can lead to inability to concentrate during the day, fatigue, mental retardation, and inability to keep up with learning. Snoring can affect sleep quality, resulting in decreased growth hormone secretion, resulting in delayed growth and development. The child breathes through the mouth for a long time, and the airflow hits the hard palate for a long time. Over time, the face will be deformed, and the upper lip will be short and thick, the mandible will be drooping, the nasolabial fold will disappear, the hard palate will be high arched, and the teeth will be irregularly arranged, which is called “adenoid face”.

If parents find that their children are snoring, awake, breathing through their mouths, and turning over repeatedly during sleep, they should go to a regular hospital in time to monitor sleep breathing, record the electrical activities of the brain, eyes, heart, and muscles, as well as chest and abdominal breathing movements, nasal airflow, blood oxygen saturation, etc. Based on this, doctors can judge whether the child suffers from sleep-disordered breathing and choose a targeted treatment method. Plus1Health has a sleep recorder that can perform sleep apnea monitoring and sleep apnea screening.

Most children’s snoring is due to congenital diseases such as tonsillar hypertrophy, micrognathia, adenoid hypertrophy or pharyngeal stenosis; snoring caused by acquired factors is also increasing, such as obesity, study tension, etc., which mostly occurs in 5-12 years old period. Most of children’s snoring can be solved by changing unhealthy lifestyle and reasonable surgery. For example, snoring caused by congenital factors can be solved by removing hypertrophic tonsils and adenoids; snoring caused by pharyngeal stenosis caused by fat accumulation can be adjusted by diet and exercise. However, parents are very concerned about using a knife on their baby, and do not want such a small child to receive general anesthesia. In fact, after many children reach school age, the adenoids will begin to shrink, and they can hardly be seen when they become adults.

Aging in my country has long been an issue that the government and society attach great importance to. In recent years, various elderly care service policies have been successively introduced, and the elderly care service work has flourished in various places. Public and private elderly care institutions have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain, and a socialized elderly care service system has begun to be formed. But the question that comes with it is: how can the nursing home complete the intelligent management and ensure the safety of the elderly to the greatest extent? This enables some “empty-nest seniors” who are unable to take care of themselves without their children to spend their later years in nursing homes. Smart elderly care takes “medical service” and “daily service” as its business core, and has six advantages of “visible, accessible, manageable, affordable, good service, and accessible”. Let the elderly experience more convenient and safe elderly care services.

Traditional nursing homes have the following problems:

1.The general nursing home does not have one-on-one care of the nursing staff;

2.It is impossible for nursing staff to take care of the elderly 24 hours a day, and the elderly cannot send out a distress signal in time when they encounter risks or become ill;

3.Most of the elderly in nursing homes are old and frail, with poor self-care ability, and lack of self-judgment and protection ability, and it is difficult to complete self-help and help when encountering risks.

The nursing system of Plus1Health Nursing Home is composed of:

It includes the operation management system of elderly care institutions, vital signs monitoring system, emergency alarm system, etc. This kind of old-age care method combines the contemporary Internet of Things technology, which is no longer a traditional old-age care method. It fully guarantees the physical and mental health of the elderly, makes children more at ease, and enables the elderly to enjoy their old age in peace.

Plus1Health Nursing Home Nursing System Functions:

2.Abnormal alarm: If the elderly have abnormal heart rate and breathing rate for a long time, or stay in bed for a long time, an alarm can be triggered to remind the nursing staff.

3.Get out of bed alarm: After the elderly leave the bed for a long time at night, the alarm can be triggered.

4.Remote view:Children who are not around the elderly can remotely view the elderly’s health information on the “TiNew” applet by binding the elderly’s sleep recorder device, and receive warning messages for the elderly in time.

5.Historical data query: Staff can view the health data of the elderly in previous stages to provide analysis data for emergencies. According to historical data statistics, it is also helpful for nursing homes to reasonably arrange health management plans for the elderly.

6.System management: Guery according to the characteristics of the old man’s name and bed number, so as to provide convenience for visitors to quickly find the position of the old man. The system can add and modify personnel information, which is simple and easy to operate. The staff can inquire about the health information of the elderly at any time and make statistical rules, which is convenient for managers to arrange appropriate health management plans.

Through the application of the nursing system of Plus1Health Nursing Home, it can replace the original manual management method, provide efficient, accurate and rich information-based intelligent management, and improve the efficiency of the staff. It greatly improves the management level of nursing homes, improves the image of nursing homes, reduces labor costs, and realizes scientific and perfect modern management.

With the gradual increase in the number of elderly people, the aging of our country is becoming more and more serious, and the elderly care business is also becoming more and more serious. Improve the living environment of the elderly, so that the elderly can be supported, depended on, happy and secure in their old age. It has also become a topic of public concern. To realize this series of elderly care construction, we must rely on smart elderly care products, such as sleep recorder, which is an intelligent monitoring product for the elderly, which can provide sleep and physiological health monitoring of family members. It is non-wearable and untethered. It can monitor real-time sleep, daily sleep reports, and monthly sleep data. Combined with professional medical institutions, it can give you a full range of health advice and care.

Sleep recorder features:

2.Respiratory rate measurement

When the user lies in bed, opens the applet, and connects to the device, the user’s breathing rate can be measured in real time.

3.Abnormal heart rate alarm

When the user’s heart rate exceeds the normal range, an abnormal heart rate alarm is triggered.

4.Long time in bed alarm

When the user leaves the bed for more than a certain period of time, an out-of-bed alarm is generated, which may be the accident of the elderly at night.

5.Long time in bed alarm

When the user is in bed for more than a certain period of time, a long-term presence alarm is generated, and abnormal vital signs may occur.

6.Sleep analysis

Provides the sleep situation at night, and provides the heart rate trend graph and respiratory rate trend graph when sleeping at night, which can realize the data comparison function.

7.Remote view

By binding the device, the sleep status of the local device can be viewed in real time even in the field, and the alarm message can also be accepted.

The sleep recorder can be embedded in the mattress, and the monitoring data can be viewed in real time through the “TiNew” applet. Plus1Health also has a smart monitoring screen, which can be connected to multiple sleep recorders. Through the operation of the background management system, it can help staff with daily management and improve management efficiency.

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, smart old-age care is bound to become the mainstream way of old-age care in the future. In the future, smart elderly care products will be used in various communities and elderly care institutions. The purpose is to monitor the physical condition of the elderly in real time, effectively help nurses or children to take care of the elderly’s health, and strive to provide support for the elderly, depend on the elderly, and have something for the elderly. Happiness and peace of mind for the elderly, so that children outside the home can be at ease, and the elderly can also feel at ease.

Community endowment is not family endowment, but home endowment in the community, nor social endowment, but the introduction of institutional endowment services into the community to implement community home endowment.

It absorbs the advantages and operability of family pension and social pension, and concentrates the best combination of family pension and institutional pension in the community. It is a new type of old-age care method proposed in response to the huge aging problem that Chinese society is currently facing.

Community elderly care services are gradually established through government support, social participation, and market operation, with family elderly care as the core, community services as the support, and professional services as the support to provide living care, medical care, spiritual comfort, cultural entertainment, etc.

Community elderly care needs to rely on intelligent platform software and communication terminal equipment for the elderly. The intelligent platform software realizes the information exchange and recording functions, and the communication terminal realizes the calling function. Among them, the sleep care equipment (sleep recorder) is connected to Plus1Health Smart Pension Management Platform to record the heart rate, breathing rate, the elderly in bed and getting out of bed and other information, and can set abnormal state alarms, for example: the elderly If there are heart rate and breathing problems, abnormal data information will be alarmed, and medical staff will check and deal with it; if the elderly stay out of bed for too long at night, the alarm will be issued on the big screen and the relevant personnel will handle it.

It can also view the health data of the elderly online in real time, easily take care of many elderly people with abnormal vital signs at night, display bed and elderly information, and do emergency treatment in time. It can also display the completion of the implementation of the elderly care plan, and the nurses can clearly see the shift. The health management system implements immediate elimination of possible risks, greatly increasing the service radius, service accuracy and service efficiency.
