    摘要: The present invention relates to a patient feedback system (10) for providing feedback information on the use of a therapeutic device (14) to a patient (12), said system (10) comprising: an interface (34) for receiving personal profile data (18) of the patient (12); a database (16) for storing reference profile data (18′) and reference device settings (54) from a plurality of reference patients (42) using therapeutic devices; a cohort selection module (36) for comparing the personal profile data (18) of the patient (12) with the reference profile data (18′) of the reference patients (42) in the database (16) and for determining a cohort (44) for the patient (12) from the plurality of reference patients (42) based upon said comparison, wherein said cohort (44) comprises a subset of the reference patients (42) having reference profile data (18′) similar to the personal profile data (18) of the patient (12); and a feedback unit (38) for determining feedback information based on the reference device settings (54) of the reference patients (42) in the cohort (44) and for providing said feedback information to the patient (12).

    摘要: A system and method is provided for generating a finite element (FE) model of an anatomical structure based on a fitted model (340) of the anatomical structure and association data. A segmentation model (310) may be provided for segmenting the anatomical structure. Association data may be obtained which associates a segmentation model part (315) of the segmentation model (310) with a mesh property, the segmentation model part (315) representing a pre-determined anatomical region of interest. The segmentation model may be applied to a medical image (320) of a subject, thereby obtaining a fitted model (340) providing a segmentation of the anatomical structure (330). The finite element model (350) may then be generated based on the fitted model (340) and the association data, said generating comprising meshing a finite element model part of the finite element model in accordance with the mesh property, the finite element model part corresponding with the pre-determined anatomical region of interest. Advantageously, this may result in an efficient generation of the FE model needing fewer manual iterations and/or alterations in the model or in the mesh.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a patient interface (10) for delivering a flow of breathable gas to a patient (12), comprising: a sealing portion (22) for sealing an interface between the patient interface (10) and a patient's face when the patient (10) interface is worn by the patient (12); a detection unit (30) including a displacement sensor (32, 32′) for generating a displacement signal including information on a displacement of the sealing portion (22) with respect to the patient's face relative to an identified reference position of the sealing portion (22) with respect to the patient's face; one or more actuators (36, 36′, 36″) for positioning at least parts of the sealing portion (22) relative to the patient's face; and a control unit (34) that is configured to actuate the one or more actuators (36, 36′, 36″) based on the displacement signal in order to adjust a position of at least parts of the sealing portion (22) with respect to the patient's face during use.
