Systems and methods can determine whether a patient is attached to a respiratory device (such as to via a patient interface) by analyzing a flow parameter signal in the time domain. Additionally, the processes can classify the patient attachment status into one of the four categories: detached, attaching, attached, or detaching. The system can include a non-sealed patient interface, such as a nasal cannula in a nasal high flow therapy, or any other patient interfaces. Data of the patient's use of the respiratory system can provide therapy compliance and long-term trend of use information and/or progress in the patient's respiratory functions and/or other physiological functions.

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 the at least two of the subset of the plurality of flow rate values.

A respiratory therapy system for providing continuous positive air pressure (CPAP) to a patient may include a flow generator for generating a supply of breathable gas, a sensor to measure a physical quantity while the breathable gas is supplied, and a computing device. The computing device may be configured to: receive sensor data that is based on measured physical property of the supply of breathable gas; control the flow generator to adjust a property of the supply of breathable gas; display a question and a plurality of selectable responses; receive a first input selecting one of the selectable responses; and display a coaching response corresponding to the selected response.

A method and apparatus for delivering breathable gas to a user includes a humidifying unit that is controllable to humidify the gas in accordance with a variable humidity profile such that the gas is delivered to the user at variable humidity levels, e.g., during a treatment session.

A respiratory conduit apparatus that conducts a breathable gas for respiratory therapy may include electrical circuit components to assist with therapy. In an example, a delivery conduit for connection with a patient interface and a respiratory therapy device may include a cuff having a microcontroller unit. The cuff may be configured with circuit components for accessory identification, gas characteristic detection for therapy control, heating and communications. In some versions, the delivery conduit may include a controller in a circuit board assembly located at an end of the delivery conduit. The printed circuit board may be configured to control and power the components of the cuff, as well as communicate with a respiratory therapy device.

A high flow therapy system for delivering heated and humidified respiratory gas to an airway of a patient, the system including a respiratory gas flow pathway for delivering the respiratory gas to the airway of the patient by way of a non-sealing respiratory interface; wherein flow rate of the pressurized respiratory gas is controlled by a microprocessor.

A server comprising a communication circuit and at least one processor is provided. The at least one processor is configured to identify whether a designated sleep preparation execution condition is met, if the sleep preparation execution condition is met, determine whether sleep states of one or more users corresponding to one or more electronic devices present in a home network are detected, and if the sleep states of the one or more users are detected, transmit a first control command indicating a designated first sleep start operation to a plurality of home devices present in the home network through the communication circuit.

The present invention provides systems, methods, and articles for stress reduction and sleep promotion. A stress reduction and sleep promotion system includes at least one remote device, at least one body sensor, and at least one remote server. In other embodiments, the stress reduction and sleep promotion system includes machine learning.

Disclosed is a particularly lightweight breathing mask for respiratory applications or as personal protective equipment, in which the rigid component is produced from thermoplastic films by means of high-pressure forming. The base material of the rigid component is available in a flat form and can thus be printed or coated in a variety of ways before processing; this allows properties to be introduced into the mask that would not be feasible in a conventional injection molding process. The use of film instead of injection-molded components enables a significant reduction in weight and thus an improvement in wearing comfort for the user. At the same time, the film allows a higher degree of flexibility of the rigid component during operation, enabling a better fit to the shape of the face under certain operating conditions and thus also improving wearing comfort

A gas delivery conduit adapted for fluidly connecting to a respiratory gases delivery system in a high flow therapy system, the gas delivery conduit includes a first connector adapted for connecting to the respiratory gases delivery system, a second connector adapted for connecting to a fitting of a patient interface, tubing fluidly connecting the first connector to the second connector where the first connector has a gas inlet adapted to receive the supplied respiratory gas, one of electrical contacts and temperature contacts integrated into the first connector. The gas delivery conduit further can include a sensing conduit integrated into the gas delivery conduit, where the first connector of the gas delivery conduit is adapted to allow the user to couple the first connector with the respiratory gases delivery system in a single motion.
