CO2 prevents sleep apnea

Project Overview

Sleep apnea is a common disorder which involves the closing of the throat during sleep preventing air to the lungs. It has been shown that as CO2 increases, the subject wakes up and continues to breathe normally. The goal is to design a device that monitors/maintains the CO2 levels during sleep and accordingly adjusts these levels to prevent apnea.
