Claim 10:
11. A system comprising:
a sensing unit comprising a gyroscope, an accelerometer, and a data link in communication with the gyroscope and the accelerometer, the sensing unit adapted to be externally mounted onto a mandible of the subject;
memory configured to store computer-executable instructions, and
at least one computer processor configured to access memory and execute the computer-executable instructions to:
receive first data from the data link, the first data generated by the gyroscope and indicative of rotational movement of the mandible of the subject;
receive second data from the data link, the second data generated by the accelerometer and indicative of acceleration of the mandible of the subject;
determine that the first data and second data correspond to a first mandible movement class of a plurality of mandible movement classes based on the first data corresponding to a first rotational movement value associated with the first mandible movement class and the second data corresponding to a first acceleration value associated with the first mandible movement class;
determine the first data and second data correspond to a sleep event associated with the first mandible movement class, the first data indicative of movement of the mandible caused by one or more antagonist or agonist muscles connected to the mandible of the subject and the second data indicative of movement of the mandible caused by a tracheal tug of the subject;
generate diagnostic information for diagnosing a sleep disorder associated with the sleep event based on the first data and the second data; and
generate a report comprising the diagnostic information for diagnosing the sleep disorder associated with the sleep event.
