Examples of the disclosure include an implantable system comprising principal stimulation circuitry configured to provide electrical stimulation to a phrenic nerve via at least one phrenic nerve stimulation electrode, subordinate stimulation circuitry configured to provide electrical stimulation to an upper-airway nerve via at least one upper-airway-nerve stimulation electrode, at least one respiration sensor, and an implantable pulse generator (IPG) comprising the stimulation circuitries and at least one processor configured to cause the subordinate stimulation circuitry to deliver stimulation in an absence of delivery of the phrenic nerve stimulation, monitor a signal from the respiration sensor(s), identify a respiration reduction based on the signal during the stimulation delivery, and in response thereto, cause the stimulation circuitries to deliver the stimulations concurrently based in part on the respiration signal and control a timing of delivery of the upper- airway-nerve electrical stimulation relative to a timing of delivery of the phrenic nerve electrical stimulation.

This invention relates to a ventilation structure for a respiratory therapy system. In one embodiment, the ventilation structure includes a ventilation housing. The ventilation housing may define a flow path for exhausting airflow from the respiratory therapy system, an air inlet configured to allow airflow into the flow path, and an air outlet configured to allow airflow out of the flow path into ambient air. The ventilation housing may be configured such that the flow path includes a bend and deflection region in which the flow path changes direction by at least 90°. The ventilation housing may include a guide configured to guide the exhaust air radially or laterally outward from the ventilation housing.

Various embodiments of the present invention provide methods, apparatus, systems, computing devices, computing entities, and / or the like for performing optimized breathing therapy. Certain embodiments of the present invention utilize systems, methods, and computer program products that perform optimized breathing therapy using at least one of interruption score generation machine learning models, observed inspiration-expiration pattern, expected inspiration-expiration patterns, expected musical patterns, and inferred musical patterns.

The present disclosure relates to a breathing circuit and a method for providing respiratory support to a patient. The breathing circuit and method can be used in any type of breathing therapy including, for example unsealed respiratory therapy such as high flow therapy, and scaled respiratory therapy such as continuous positive air(way) pressure (CPAP) therapy, and bilevel positive air pressure therapy where the inspiratory and expiratory pressures differ. The breathing circuit includes first and second passageways that can convey a breathing gas to a patient interface, wherein the first passageway is connectable to a first gas source to supply a first gas, and the second passageway is connectable to the first gas source and to a second gas source.

A system (100) for respiratory therapy may include a pressure generator for delivering therapy to a patient respiratory interface of an airway of a user; a user interface; and a controller coupled to the pressure generator and configured to operate the generator for the therapy. The controller may be configured to control the generator to deliver the therapy during a therapy period in a therapy mode. The controller may be configured to receive an input made by the user on the user interface in a setup configuration mode, the input corresponding to an adjustment to a parameter. In the setup mode, the controller may control, in real-time or near real-time, generation of a sensory response perceivable by a user in response to the adjustment of the parameter, including controlling the generator to deliver the therapy to the airway of the user, the therapy including pressurizing a flow of breathable gas, based on the received input and the corresponding adjustment.

Examples of the disclosure include a nerve cuff configured to electrically couple to an implantable pulse generator. The nerve cuff includes a tubular cuff body configured to encircle a nerve positioned approximately along a longitudinal axis of the tubular cuff body, a split configured to enable insertion of the nerve into the tubular cuff body, a closure flap configured to wrap around the tubular cuff body, a plurality of electrodes disposed on an inner surface of the tubular cuff body configured to selectively steer stimulation current towards motor fibers of the nerve and away from sensory fibers of the nerve; and a plurality of conductors configured to electrically couple the IPG to the plurality of electrodes.

A patient interface for respiratory therapy includes an interface body and a housing for receiving the interface body. The patient interface also includes a fixation member having a pair of support pads, each of the support pads configured to engage a face of a user. In some configurations, the interface body may be a cannula body or a mask body. In some configurations, the housing may receive different interface bodies, and the interface bodies are interchangeable.
