Abstract: Systems and methods for managing the power consumption of an oxygen concentrator are disclosed. An oxygen concentration system may comprise a compression system, a canister system, one or more processors, and at least one of a pressure sensor or a movement sensor. The one or more processors may be configured to transition the oxygen concentration system to at least one of a prescribed mode of operation or a standby mode of operation. The timing of the transition may be based on at least one of a number of breaths detected from the pressure signals generated by the pressure sensor or an estimated energy content of the movement signal generated by the movement sensor. A predetermined volume or concentration of oxygen enriched air may be supplied to a user during the prescribed mode of operation. A reduced power may be provided to the compression system during the standby mode of operation.
