Orthodontic brace system with blood oxygen concentration sensing function capable of sensing the oral arterial blood vessel to diagnose or monitor obstructive sleep apnea
Provided is a orthodontic brace system with blood oxygen concentration sensing, which includes: a brace unit worn inside a human oral cavity and provided with a positioning part corresponding to a measurement location in the oral cavity, wherein the measurement location corresponds to the oral arterial blood vessel a blood oxygen concentration sensing unit arranged in the positioning part and comprising a light emitting diode element and a light detecting diode element, whereby the light emitted from the light emitting diode element illuminates the arterial blood vessel and then the light penetrates through or is reflected from the arterial blood vessel is absorbed by the light detecting diode element to generate a digital signal and a microcontroller module electrically connected to the blood oxygen concentration sensing unit for processing the digital signal and calculating a blood oxygen concentration value. The circuit substrate in which the light emitting diode element and the light detecting diode element are packaged is a flexible circuit board, so that the blood oxygen concentration sensing unit is closely attached to the measurement location.一種具血氧濃度感測之牙套系統,包含:一配戴於人體口腔內部的牙套單元,其具有對應於口腔內之量測位置的一定位部,量測位置對應於口腔動脈血管;一血氧濃度感測單元,係設置於該定位部,其包含一發光二極體元件與一光偵測二極體元件,使發光二極體元件發出的光線照射到動脈血管後穿透或反射的光由光偵測二極體元件吸收而產生數位訊號;一微控制器模組,係與血氧濃度感測單元電性連接,用以處理數位訊號,並換算出血氧濃度數值。其發光二極體元件與光偵測二極體元件封裝的電路基板為一可撓式電路板,以使血氧濃度感測單元貼緊於量測位置。10‧‧‧牙套系統11,11’‧‧‧牙套單元111,111’‧‧‧定位部12‧‧‧血氧濃度感測單元120‧‧‧電路基板121‧‧‧發光二極體元件122‧‧‧光偵測二極體元件13‧‧‧微控制器處理模組A‧‧‧口腔D‧‧‧量測位置
