Abstract
An interface system for a user is provided that includes an interface unit configured to engage and selectively apply a force on a lower jaw of the user. An actuating unit is configured to actuate the interface unit in order to selectively apply and adjust the force on the lower jaw. One or more sensors are configured to generate output signals conveying information related to sleep stages of the user during a sleep session. The interface system further includes a processor configured to receive the output signals from the one or more sensors and determine a current sleep stage of the user. The processor controls the actuating unit based on the current sleep stage to adjust the force applied by the interface unit on the lower jaw.
