Publication number: 20240115824Abstract: Systems and methods can determine respiratory rates of a patient using a respiratory device by performing one or more frequency analyses of a signal from the gases flow. The signal from the gases flow can be one that varies with the patient's breathing. The system can include a non-sealed patient interface, such as a nasal cannula in a nasal high flow therapy, or any other patient interfaces. The respiratory system can also detect whether the patient has taken off the patient interface and/or whether the patient connected to the patient interface is talking or eating. Data of the patient's use of the respiratory system and the patient's respiratory rates can provide therapy compliance and long-term trend of use information and/or progress in the patient's respiratory functions and/or other physiological functions.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Rhys Matthew James Williams, Charles Grady Cantrell, David Martin Russell, Brett James Ryan, Bryn Alan Edwards, Anton Kim Gulley
