IoT Based Tele-Sleep Bruxism Diagnosis Tool

Abstract

Bruxism is a clinical syndrome characterized by teeth grinding or clenching. If you suffer from bruxism, you may have unintentionally clenched or ground your teeth while you were awake (awake bruxism) or while you were asleep (sleep bruxism). The most accurate ways to identify sleep bruxism are polysomnography and nightly sleep studies at a sleep clinic. Polysomnography will include heart and muscle monitoring, as well as pulse and blood pressure data. As a result, in this study, the key signals for diagnosing sleep bruxism-such as pulse rate, ECG (electrocardiogram), and EMG (Electromyogram) are collected and stored in IOT through wireless monitoring. The hardware tools are used to test ECG and EMG signals. If the person has a sleep bruxism episode, the microcontroller will give an alert via buzzer and transfer the data via IoT to the cloud, which can be accessed by the doctor for tele-monitoring.
