  • Publication number: 20240139448
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed related to determining whether there is a proper fit between a user interface and a face of a user. The methods and systems involve generating seal information associated with a seal region between a face of a user and a current user interface donned on the face of the user. The methods and systems are further related to analyzing the seal information to determine whether a leak exists in the seal region. If the leak exists, the systems and methods include analyzing the seal information to determine a location of the leak within the seal region. The systems and methods further include determining a new user interface to replace the current user interface based on the current user interface and the location of the leak.

  • Publication number: 20240122532
    Abstract: A system and method electronically manages sleep related data obtained by a diagnostic device. The system and method may include collecting sleep data from a patient using a diagnostic device. The sleep data may be stored in a sleep data file and delineated as multiple sleep sessions. A user may access the stored sleep data by selecting a particular sleep session. The sleep data for the selected sleep session may then be extracted from the sleep data file and presented to the user as a combination of image tiles, JavaScript elements, and an event indicator.

  • Publication number: 20220401728
    Abstract: A system includes a collar that is worn around a neck of the user. A stimulator is coupled to the collar such that the stimulator is positioned adjacent to an airway of the user. The sensor is coupled to the collar and configured to generate data associated with the airway of the user. The memory is coupled to the collar and storing machine-readable instructions. The control system is coupled to the collar and includes one or more processors configured to execute the machine-readable instructions to determine, based at least on an analysis of the generated data, that the user is currently experiencing an apnea event. In response to the determination, the control system causes the stimulator to provide electrical stimulation, at a first intensity level, to one or more muscles of the user that are adjacent to the airway to aid in stopping the apnea event.
