1. A sleep apnea device comprising:
a pillow;
a face mask;
a first air tube; and
a second air tube;
said pillow comprising:
an embedded reshaping device to reshape said pillow;
an embedded device comprising:
an inlet assembly that receives an air from an environment by a first fan, filters said air by a first filter before releasing it into said face mask through an outlet port;
an exhaust assembly that receives said air that is contaminated from an interior of said face mask through an inlet port by a second fan and filters it by a second filter before releasing it to said environment;
an airflow sensor located in an airflow path of said sleep apnea device to measure a real time airflow;
a power housing to hold a battery, and a control circuit;
said face mask is connected to said embedded device inside said pillow by said first air tube that receives said air from said inlet assembly for a breath inhale and said second air tube that delivers said air that is contaminated due to a breath exhale to said exhaust assembly;
said control circuit uses said real time airflow data obtained by said airflow sensor to detect occurrence of an apnea;
said control circuit after detection of at least one of said apnea, and a blockage of said airflow path activates said embedded reshaping device to reshape said pillow.
