Abstract
System and methods are disclosed that promote a sleep stage of a user. The systems and methods determine a current sleep stage of a user during a sleep session, with the user using a respiratory therapy system during the sleep session. The systems and methods further predict an undesired sleep stage upcoming for the user during the sleep session based, at least in part, on (i) one or more user parameters, information from one or more previous sleep sessions, or a combination thereof, and (ii) the current sleep stage. The systems and methods adjust one or more control parameters of the respiratory therapy system, of one or more devices in an environment of the user, or of a combination thereof to promote a desired sleep stage of the user, thereby optimizing sleep of the user.
Claims25
A method comprising:
- determining a current sleep stage of a user during a sleep session, the user using a respiratory therapy system during the sleep session, wherein a desired sleep stage is selected from N1, N2, N3, and REM;
- predicting an undesired sleep stage upcoming for the user during the sleep session based, at least in part, on (i) one or more user parameters, information from one or more previous sleep sessions, or a combination thereof, and (ii) the current sleep stage;
- and
- adjusting one or more control parameters of the respiratory therapy system by sending control signals to the respiratory therapy system to change at least one of blower motor speed, pressure level, flow level, vent valve configuration, humidification level, or conduit temperature during the sleep session to promote the desired sleep stage of the user selected from N1, N2, N3, and REM, thereby optimizing sleep of the user.
A method comprising:
- determining a current sleep stage of a user during a sleep session, the user using a respiratory therapy system during the sleep session, wherein a desired sleep stage is selected from N1, N2, N3, and REM;
- and
- adjusting one or more control parameters of the respiratory therapy system by sending control signals to the respiratory therapy system to change at least one of blower motor speed, pressure level, flow level, vent valve configuration, humidification level, or conduit temperature during the sleep session to promote the desired sleep stage of the user selected from N1, N2, N3, and REM over the current sleep stage, thereby optimizing sleep of the user.
A system comprising:
- a memory storing machine-readable instructions;
- and
- a control system including one or more processors configured to execute the machine-readable instructions to:
- determine a current sleep stage of a user during a sleep session, the user using a respiratory therapy system during the sleep session, wherein a desired sleep stage is selected from N1, N2, N3, and REM;
- predict an undesired sleep stage upcoming for the user during the sleep session based, at least in part, on one or more user parameters, information from one or more previous sleep sessions, or a combination thereof, and the current sleep stage;
- and
- adjust one or more control parameters of the respiratory therapy system by sending control signals to the respiratory therapy system to change at least one of blower motor speed, pressure level, flow level, vent valve configuration, humidification level, or conduit temperature during the sleep session to promote the desired sleep stage of the user selected from N1, N2, N3, and REM, thereby optimizing sleep of the user.
