Abstract
A method includes receiving data associated with a sleep session of a user. The method also includes determining that the user is experiencing or has experienced an event based at least in part on the data. The method also includes causing pressurized air to be directed from a respiratory device to a multi-compartment bladder in response to determining that the user is experiencing or has experienced the event to aid in modifying a position of a head of the user.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- causing pressurized air to be directed from a respiratory device to a user interface coupled to the respiratory device;
- receiving data associated with a sleep session of a user;
- determining, based at least in part on the data, that the user is experiencing or has experienced a first event or a second event;
- responsive to determining that the user is experiencing or has experienced the first event, continuing to cause the pressurized air to be directed from the respiratory device to the user interface coupled to the respiratory device, and causing air to be directed into or out of a multi-compartment bladder to aid in modifying a position of a head of the user;
- and
- responsive to determining that the user is experiencing or has experienced the second event, modifying the pressurized air that is being directed from the respiratory device to the user interface.
3 more elements
A system comprising:
- a respiratory device configured to supply, by way of a user interface coupled to the respiratory device via a conduit, pressurized air to an airway of a user during a sleep session;
- a sensor configured to generate data associated with the sleep session;
- a multi-compartment bladder configured to be positioned adjacent to the user during the sleep session;
- a memory storing machine-readable instructions;
- and
- a control system including one or more processors configured to execute the machine-readable instructions to:
- determine, based at least in part on the data, that the user is experiencing or has experienced a first event or a second event;
- responsive to determining that the user is experiencing or has experienced the first event, continuing to cause the pressurized air to be directed from the respiratory device to the user interface coupled to the respiratory device, and causing air to be directed into or out of the multi-compartment bladder to aid in modifying a position of a head of the user;
- and
- responsive to determining that the user is experiencing or has experienced the second event, modify the pressurized air that is being directed from the respiratory device to the user interface.
