Abstract
The present inventive concept relates to an apparatus and a method for providing a treatment plan by measuring the severity of sleep apnea and causes thereof. According to an embodiment of the present inventive concept, a hypoventilation monitoring system may include a an EIT data processing unit configured to generate image data on the chest of a subject by measuring either current or voltage through a plurality of electrodes attached to the subject, a ventilation parameter calculation unit configured to calculate a ventilation parameter of the subject by analyzing an image change of the chest based on the generated image data, a hypoventilation determination unit configured to determine a hypoventilation condition by comparing the calculated ventilation parameter with a hypoventilation reference value, and a display control unit configured to control a display to display at least one of the generated image data, the calculated ventilation parameter, or the determined alarm information on the hypoventilation condition.
