Standard for a Physical Artificial Intelligence (AI) Framework for Smart Mandibular Advancement Devices (Smart MADs)

This standard specifies the architectural framework and data interface requirements for Physical Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled Smart Mandibular Advancement Devices (Smart MADs), designed to perform autonomous, closed-loop therapeutic adjustments for sleep apnea and related breathing disorders. The scope encompasses the definition of logical structures and data communication protocols among the device's core functional layers: • the perception layer that is responsible for real-time physiological sensing and pre-processing, • the cognition layer that includes AI-based state inference and a deterministic safety supervisor, and • the actuation layer that executes physical mandibular positioning. Specifically, this document standardizes the internal data flows and command formats between modules to help ensure interoperability across heterogeneous sensors and algorithms, while establishing mandatory control limits and fail-safe mechanisms to protect patient safety during automated physical interventions. This standard does not include clinical diagnostic criteria for specific medical conditions or the validation of the clinical efficacy of individual therapeutic algorithms.

Other Activities From This Working Group

Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.


No Active Projects

Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.


No Active Standards

These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.


No Superseded Standards

These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.


No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards

These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.


No Inactive-Reserved Standards
