Abstract
A vibrotactile stimulation device intended to be applied against a body environment (MC) to be stimulated and having a vibrating effector suitable for applying, to the environment, pulses of mechanical vibrational energy, and a controller controlling the effector according to stimulation rules. The device further includes vibration detector suitable for being exposed to the body environment in order to receive a part of the vibrational energy transmitted to the environment during the application of the pulses of vibrational energy, and determine a transmission characteristic of the vibrational energy between the effector and the environment to be stimulated, the vibration detector being linked to the controller. An application to improving the efficacy of body stimulation in combating sleep apnea is also disclosed.
