    摘要: Methods and apparatus detect events of sleep disordered breathing from an input audio signal such as from a sound sensor. A processor may be configured to receive the audio signal that represents sounds of a user during a period of sleep. The processor determines reliable respiration epochs from the audio, such as on a frame-by-frame basis, that include periods of audible breathing and/or snoring. The processor detects presence of a sleep disordered breathing events, such as hypopnea, apnea, apnea snoring or modulated breathing, in the reliable respiration epoch(s) and generates output to indicate the detected event(s). Optionally, the apparatus may serve as a cost-effective screening device such as when implemented as a processor control application for a mobile processing device (e.g., mobile phone or tablet).

    摘要: A system for identifying a body position of a user of a respiratory therapy system includes a sensor, a memory, and a control system. The sensor is configured to generate airflow data associated with the user. The memory stores machine-readable instructions. The control system includes one or more processors configured to execute the machine-readable instructions to receive the airflow data associated with the user during a sleep session. The control system is further configured to determine one or more features associated with the airflow data, and identify the body position of the user during a first portion of the sleep session based at least in part on the determined one or more features. The control system is further configured to cause an action to be performed based at least in part on the identified body position of the user.

    摘要: A system includes a respiratory therapy system, a memory device, and a control system. The respiratory therapy system includes a respiratory therapy device supplying pressurized air, and a user interface coupled to the respiratory therapy device via a conduit to direct the pressurized air to an airway of a user. The memory device stores machine-readable instructions. The control system includes a processor(s) to execute the machine-readable instructions to: generate data, during a current sleep session, associated with a user of a respiratory therapy system; analyze the generated data to determine a value of a first metric that is associated with a sleep disordered breathing (SDB) condition; analyze the generated data to determine a value of a second metric that is associated with a health condition other than the SDB condition; and based at least in part on the determined value of the second metric, cause an action to be performed.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus provide physiological movement detection, such as gesture, breathing, cardiac and/or gross motion, such as with sound, radio frequency and/or infrared generation, by electronic devices such as vehicular processing devices. The electronic device in a vehicle may, for example, be any of an audio entertainment system, a vehicle navigation system, and a semi-autonomous or autonomous vehicle operations control system. One or more processors of the device, may detect physiological movement by controlling producing sensing signal(s) in a cabin of a vehicle housing the electronic device. The processor(s) control sensing, with a sensor, reflected signal(s) from the cabin. The processor(s) derive a physiological movement signal with the sensing signal and reflected signal and generate an output based on an evaluation of the derived physiological movement signal. The output may control operations or provide an input to any of the entertainment system, navigation system, and vehicle operations control system.
