Patent ID: 7749154

Claim:
A system for dynamically affecting sleep architecture and sleep states of a subject in soft real time for treating sleep disorders and improving sleep quality, said system comprising: stimulation generators for applying stimulation over said subject; and monitoring means for measuring the subject's physiological and the environmental conditions, wherein activation of each stimulation is based upon an interactive session algorithm, operatively associated with said monitoring means, wherein said interactive session algorithm includes a state analyzing module for analyzing subject sleep state by measuring the subject's physiological conditions, and a convergence algorithm, operatively associated with said stimulation generators and monitoring means, wherein said convergence algorithm enables receiving the measured condition and sleep state of the subject and determining the stimulation to be activated and applied upon the subject, and wherein said convergence algorithm includes an iterative convergence process that is associated with at least one predefined target, wherein said process allows applying stimulations over the subject, receiving measurements of the subject's physiological condition and changing the applied stimulation according to the received measurements in relation to said target.
