Patent number: 11607516Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to a system configured to enhance deep sleep in a subject during positive airway pressure therapy. A pressure generator is configured to generate a pressurized flow of breathable gas for delivery to an airway of the subject. Sensors are configured to generate output signals conveying information related to breathing of the subject. One or more hardware processors are configured to cause the pressure generator to generate the pressurized flow of breathable gas in accordance with a positive airway pressure therapy regime based on the information in the output signals; determine sleep stages of the subject based on the information in the output signals; and responsive to the sleep stages indicating the subject is in deep sleep, cause the pressure generator to adjust the pressurized flow of breathable gas to deliver a stimulus to the subject, the stimulus configured to enhance deep sleep in the subject.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2019Date of Patent: March 21, 2023Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Jonathan Sayer Grashow, Eugene Nelson Scarberry, Gregory Delano Matthews, Michael Thomas Kane

Patent number: 11458268Abstract: A method for the concurrent treatment of obstructive sleep apnea and hypertension in a patient comprises providing a flow of treatment gas to the airway of the patient in accordance with a first set of flow parameters. Determining that the patient has achieved stable breathing while receiving the provided flow of treatment gas in accordance with the first set of parameters. Determining a set of target patient breath parameters from breath data collected from the patient. Adjusting the flow of treatment gas to a different set of flow parameters. Determining that the new patient breath data, collected from the patient, accords with the target patient breath parameters and providing the flow of treatment gas to the patient in accordance with the different set of flow parameters.

Publication number: 20220203056Abstract: Concurrent treatment of obstructive sleep apnea and hypertension in a patient, via a pressure generating system, includes providing a flow of treatment gas to an airway of a patient in accordance with an initial set of flow parameters with respect to an obstructive sleep apnea mode. Responsive to determining that the patient has achieved stable breathing while receiving the flow of treatment gas, the flow parameters are increased above the initial set of flow parameters with respect to a hyper-ventilation mode. The flow of treatment gas is then provided to the airway of the patient in accordance with the increased flow parameters for a predetermined period of time. The increased flow parameters are configured to bring the patient's breath into accordance with target patient breath parameters configured to inflate the patient's lungs beyond a threshold for activating pulmonary stretch receptors of the airway of the patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 16, 2022Publication date: June 30, 2022Inventors: Jonathan Sayer GRASHOW, Gregory Delano MATTHEWS, Michael Thomas KANE, Eugene Nelson SCARBERRY

Publication number: 20210113797Abstract: There is provided a control unit (100) for use with a respiratory assist device (102) that assists a subject (104) with respiration. The control unit (100) configured to detect a time at which delivery of an inhalable therapy to the subject (104) is manually triggered on an inhalable therapy device (106). The control unit (100) is also configured to detect whether the subject (104) has fallen asleep and, on detecting that the subject (104) has fallen asleep, control the inhalable therapy device (106) to automatically trigger delivery of the inhalable therapy to the subject (104) at least a predefined length of time following the detected time at which delivery of the inhalable therapy to the subject (104) is manually triggered.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2018Publication date: April 22, 2021Inventors: Elizabeth Powell Margaria, Dirk Ernest von Hollen, Eugene Nelson Scarberry

Patent number: 10888266Abstract: Sleep related conditions of a subject are monitored and/or diagnosed based on both sleep quality and apnea hypopnea index. A first sleep test is performed in which a sleep quality of the subject and an apnea-hypopnea index are determined. A determination is made as to whether results of the first sleep test meet a first condition based on both the sleep quality and apnea-hypopnea index of the subject associated with the first sleep test. Responsive to the results of the first sleep test failing to meet the first condition, a recommendation of a treatment for the subject is provided. An efficacy of the treatment is confirmed in a second sleep test involving the treatment by determining whether results of the second sleep test meet the first condition based on both the sleep quality and apnea-hypopnea index of the subject associated with the second sleep test.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2017Date of Patent: January 12, 2021Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventor: Eugene Nelson Scarberry
