Abstract
Embodiments include a screening method for evaluating patient suitability for an implanted hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS) device. The screening method evaluates blood oxygen data relating to respiratory events, with the blood oxygen data providing mean blood oxygen desaturation values for comparison to severity thresholds to identify patients who are likely or unlikely to benefit from the implantation of the HGNS device.
