    Abstract: A system includes one or more sensors and a processor. Each of the sensors generates a signal as a function of at least one physiological parameter of a patient that may discernibly change when the patient is asleep. The processor monitors the physiological parameters, and determines whether the patient is asleep based on the parameters. In some embodiments, the processor determines plurality of sleep metric values, each of which indicates a probability of the patient being asleep, based on each of a plurality of physiological parameters. The processor may average or otherwise combine the plurality of sleep metric values to provide an overall sleep metric value that is compared to a threshold value in order to determine whether the patient is asleep.

    Abstract: The system (10) for applying medicament therapies to human body comprises a medicament supply tank (20), a closed circulation line (50) with a carrier fluid (52), a measuring unit (100) for maintaining a predetermined medicament concentration in the carrier fluid, and a delivery area (60) for controlled transfer of the medicament from the carrier fluid into the human body. An independent claim is also included for a method for operating the proposed system. It involves measurement of the medicament in the carrier fluid.
