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.

1-136. (canceled)
A method comprising:
- generating, via one or more sensors of a respiratory therapy system, physiological data associated with a user of the respiratory therapy system undergoing respiratory therapy during a sleep session;
- determining, based on the generated physiological data, a sleep-wake signal associated with the user;
- determining a current sleep stage of the user 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 one or more devices in the environment of the user to change at least one of a light level, a sound level, a room temperature level, a humidity level, a sound level, an electrical stimulation, a sound masking or sound cancellation level, a bed level, a pillow inflation, a mattress inflation zone to cause the user to change position, a bed temperature, a scent, or a combination thereof, to promote the desired sleep stage of the user selected from N1, N2, N3, and REM, thereby optimizing sleep of the user.
A respiratory therapy system comprising:
- one or more sensors configured to generate physiological data associated with a user of the respiratory therapy system undergoing respiratory therapy during a 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 on the generated physiological data, a sleep-wake signal associated with the user,
- determine a current sleep stage of the user 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 (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
- adjust one or more control parameters of one or more devices in the environment of the user to change at least one of a light level, a sound level, a room temperature level, a humidity level, a sound level, an electrical stimulation, a sound masking or sound cancellation level, a bed level, a pillow inflation, a mattress inflation zone to cause the user to change position, a bed temperature, a scent, or a combination thereof, to promote the desired sleep stage of the user selected from N1, N2, N3, and REM, thereby optimizing sleep of the user.
