Abstract: A system for determining continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and interface type for a user which includes one or more processors, one or more computer readable media, and one or more modules maintained on the one or more computer readable media that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including receiving an initial CPAP pressure setting for a user, monitoring a residual apnea hypopnea of the user, and determining an optimal CPAP pressure setting for the user based on the residual apnea hypopnea of the user.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a method and apparatus for the treatment of sleep apnea through the application of real-time, interactive positive airway pressure within the airway of a patient attached to the system. A single sensor is arranged in fluid communication with the airway of the air delivery conduit, and is designed to detect abnormal inspiratory flow to the patient's airway on a single breath basis. Output air pressure from the air source to the airway of the patient is continuously increased, instantaneously stopped, and slowly decreased in response to real-time changes in the patient's inspiratory flow curve detected and interpreted by this apparatus, thus providing the optimal pressure required to restore airway patency on each breath.
