System and method for determining user's deep vein thrombosis prevention and diagnosis system utilization compliance

A system for determining a user's compliance with a prescribed therapeutic pneumatic compression treatment, comprising:

• a pneumatic compression system for applying external pressure to a body limb;
• said pneumatic compression system including,
• a console,
• a pneumatic compression sleeve, pneumatically connected to said console, for applying compression to a body limb, and
• a pressure sensor;
• said pneumatic compression sleeve having a pneumatically fillable cell;
• said pressure sensor, pneumatically connected to said pneumatically fillable cell of said pneumatic compression sleeve, for measuring pneumatic pressure within said pneumatically fillable cell;
• said console including,
• a respiratory measuring device operatively connected to said pressure sensor,
• a cardio measuring device operatively connected to said pressure sensor,
• a muscular activity measuring device operatively connected to said pressure sensor, and
• a compliance determining device operatively connected to said respiratory measuring device, said cardio measuring device, and said muscular activity measuring device;
• said respiratory measuring device, based upon a pressure signal received from said pressure sensor, determining respiratory events associated with the user;
• said respiratory measuring device generating a positive detection signal for each determined respiratory event associated with the user;
• said cardio measuring device, based upon a pressure signal received from said pressure sensor, determining cardio events associated with the user;
• said cardio measuring device generating a positive detection signal for each determined cardio event associated with the user;
• said muscular activity measuring device, based upon a pressure signal received from said pressure sensor, determining muscular activity events associated with the user;
• said muscular activity measuring device generating a positive detection signal for each determined muscular activity event associated with the user;
• said compliance determining device determining a user's compliance with a prescribed therapeutic pneumatic compression treatment when said compliance determining device has received a predetermined number of positive detection signals within a predetermined time interval.
