The invention concerns a vibrotactile stimulation device (1) intended to be applied against a body medium (MC) to be stimulated, produced in the form of a functional unit, comprising a vibrating effector (10) suitable for applying, to said medium, pulses of mechanical vibrational energy, and means (130) for controlling the effector according to stimulation rules. The device is remarkable in that the functional unit further houses a first electrode (E1) suitable for cooperating with at least one second electrode (E2, E3) separated from the first electrode in order to supply signals representative of a cardiac activity and a muscular activity on the medium to be stimulated, said control means (130) being sensitive to cardiac activity and muscular activity signals in order to influence the stimulation. Application in particular to body stimulation in combating sleep apnoea, with improved detection. |
