  • Publication number: 20240042149
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for determining movement of a user while using a respiratory therapy system is disclosed. Acoustic data associated with the user of the respiratory therapy system is received. The received acoustic data is analyzed. Based at least in part on the analyzed acoustic data, a movement event associated with the user is determined.

  • Publication number: 20230364368
    Abstract: A method includes receiving first physiological data associated with a user. The method also includes determining a first emotion score associated with the user based at least in part on the first physiological data. The method also includes modifying one or more settings of a respiratory therapy system responsive to determining that the first emotion score satisfies a predetermined condition.

  • Publication number: 20230330375
    Abstract: A plurality of flow rate values associated with pressurized air directed to an airway of a user of a respiratory therapy system is received. A plurality of pressure values associated with the pressurized air directed to the airway of the user is received. A first time associated with a first breath of the user and a second time associated with a second breath of the user are identified. The plurality of flow rate values is filtered based at least in part on the identified first time and the identified second time. The filtering produces a subset of the plurality of flow rate values. An intentional leak characteristic curve for the respiratory therapy system is determined using at least two of the subset of the plurality of flow rate values and the corresponding pressure values for said at least two of the subset of the plurality of flow rate values.

  • Publication number: 20230099622
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are disclosed. The devices, systems, and methods detect one or more parameters with respect to movement of a user, cardiac activity of the user, audio associated with the user, or a combination thereof during a sleep session of the user; process the one or more parameters to determine a sleep status of the user, the sleep status being at least one of awake, asleep, or a sleep stage; and calculate an apnea-hypopnea index for the user during the sleep session based, at least in part, on the sleep status.

  • Publication number: 20220339383
    Abstract: Method and apparatus obtain information about a patient and/or a respiratory therapy system that is configured to deliver respiratory therapy to the patient. The respiratory therapy system may include a flow generator configured to generate a supply of pressurized air along an air circuit to a patient interface. A sound signal representing a sound in the air circuit may be processed to obtain cepstrum data. A time series of delay estimates based on acoustic signatures of the cepstrum data may be generated. Each acoustic signature may represent a reflection of sound from a patient interface along the air circuit. Variation in the time series of delay estimates may be analysed. One or more output indicators based on the variation may be generated. The one or more output indicators may concern patient and/or system status.
