Latest Patents
Among his latest patents, Lavie has developed a method and apparatus for the non-invasive detection of particular sleep-state conditions by monitoring the peripheral vascular system. This invention utilizes an external probe applied to a peripheral body location, such as a finger or toe, to detect changes in the peripheral vascular bed volume. By applying a predetermined pressure field, the device prevents venous pooling and provides valuable information regarding an individual's sleep state condition. This technology is particularly useful in diagnosing and treating various sleep disorders, as well as conditions like impotence and diabetes.
Another significant patent by Lavie is a method and apparatus for non-invasively evaluating endothelial activity in a patient. This invention involves applying occluding pressure to a specific part of the arm or leg to assess arterial blood flow. By monitoring changes in peripheral arterial tone before and after the application of pressure, the device can indicate the presence of endothelial dysfunction. This method offers important advantages, especially when used in conjunction with a reference digit-probe to compensate for vascular bed shifts.
