US 2022/0023567 A1 · INTELLIGENT SETUP AND RECOMMENDATION SYSTEM FOR SLEEP APNEA DEVICE

Abstract

A system and method for assisting a patient in setting up and using respiratory therapy device is disclosed. The system includes an equipment database storing data relating to respiratory therapy device types and mask types. A device recognition module is operable to identify the type of the respiratory therapy device from an image of the respiratory therapy device captured by a client computing device in comparison with the data relating to the device types. A mask recognition module is operable to identify the type of the mask from an image of the mask captured by the client computing device in comparison with the data relating to the mask types. A media database includes media relating to assistance information relating to mask types and device types. A management server is operable to send media relating to assistance information for the identified type of mask or identified type of device to the client computing device.
