The method including generating a chain of custody determination based at least in part on the authentication of the device. The method including associating the chain of custody determination with the testing session.

Abstract: A method comprises receiving data associated with a diabetes treatment plan of the individual. The method further comprises receiving data associated with a respiratory therapy plan of the individual. The respiratory therapy plan is implementable by a respiratory therapy system during a sleep session. The method further comprises determining a potential interaction between the diabetes treatment plan of the individual and the respiratory therapy plan of the individual. The method further comprises, based on the interaction, updating the diabetes treatment plan of the individual.

Abstract: A method of modifying pressure settings of a respiratory therapy system comprises supplying pressurized air at a first pressure to a user during a current sleep session; determining a number and/or type of events experienced by the user during a first portion of the current sleep session; and modifying the pressure settings of the respiratory therapy system during a subsequent sleep session portion in response to the number and/or type of events satisfying a threshold. Modifying the pressure settings can include modifying the first pressure to be a modified first pressure for the subsequent sleep session portion, (ii) modifying a difference in pressure between the first pressure and a second pressure for the subsequent sleep session portion, (iii) modifying a rate of change from the first pressure to the second pressure for the subsequent sleep session portion, or (iv) any combination of (i)-(iii).

Abstract: A method includes providing a tag applied to an intended test subject. The tag having an anti-tamper authentication feature that is altered when the tag is removed from the test subject, and which, when altered, is rendered unsuitable for authentication. The method including providing a diagnostic device applied to a test subject. The diagnostic device interacting with the anti-tamper authentication feature of the tag. The method including authenticating the tag with the diagnostic wearable device based on the diagnostic device's interaction with the anti-tamper authentication feature. Successful authentication indicating that the test subject is the intended test subject. Unsuccessful authentication occurring when the anti-tamper authentication feature is altered. The method including collecting sensor data from the test subject via the diagnostic device.

Abstract: A method includes receiving, at a user device, first sensor data from sensor(s) coupled to the user device. The method including receiving identity enrollment information associated with a test subject engaging in a testing session and establishing a communication link between the user device and a wearable diagnostic device. The method also includes associating the wearable diagnostic device with the testing session by determining, using first sensor data, that the wearable diagnostic device is being worn by the test subject at a first time. The method including receiving second sensor data from the wearable diagnostic device after the first time. The method including analyzing the second sensor data to identify an interference instance indicative that the wearable diagnostic device is no longer worn by the test subject at a second time. The method including generating a chain of custody determination based at least in part on the interference instance.

Abstract: A system includes a respiratory therapy system, a memory device, and a control system. The respiratory therapy system includes a respiratory therapy device supplying pressurized air, and a user interface coupled to the respiratory therapy device via a conduit to direct the pressurized air to an airway of a user. The memory device stores machine-readable instructions. The control system includes a processor(s) to execute the machine-readable instructions to: generate data, during a current sleep session, associated with a user of a respiratory therapy system; analyze the generated data to determine a value of a first metric that is associated with a sleep disordered breathing (SDB) condition; analyze the generated data to determine a value of a second metric that is associated with a health condition other than the SDB condition; and based at least in part on the determined value of the second metric, cause an action to be performed.

Abstract: A method for monitoring a sleep session of an individual comprises receiving data associated with a current sleep session of the individual; analyzing at least a portion of the received data to identify one or more sleep stages experienced by the individual during the current sleep session, the one or more sleep stages including a light sleep stage, a deep sleep stage, a typical rapid eye movement (REM) stage, an atypical REM stage, a wake stage, or any combination thereof; and generating a summary of the current sleep session, the summary including (i) a number of atypical REM sleep stages experienced by the individual during the sleep current sleep session, (ii) a time spent in atypical REM sleep stages during the current sleep session, or (iii) both (i) and (ii).

Abstract: A system and method suitable for monitoring user technique of an inhaler device configured for delivery of a medicament is provided. The system may include a microphone adapted for sensing sound made during operation of the inhaler device and processing circuitry operable to process a data signal obtained from the microphone, wherein the data signal includes acoustic information sensed. The processing circuitry is adapted to determine inhalation and exhalation breath characteristics that occur during use, by analyzing the temporal and spectral components of the acoustic information sensed and processed to differentiate between an inhalation and an exhalation, based on both the temporal and spectral components. This information can be processed to determine user technique adherence to inhaler or respiratory device protocol. The analysis of temporal and spectral components can determine the impact of user technique errors on the quantity and the deposition of medicament delivered into the user's airways.
