7 results about "Breathing therapy" patented technology

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.

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.

This application relates to nasal cannula assemblies and related components. A nasal cannula assembly for delivering respiratory therapy to a patient is provided. The nasal cannula assembly may include a cannula, an optional removable manifold, a gas supply tubing, and a fixation mechanism. The fixation mechanism may include a cap strap, a cheek pad, or an adhesive nasal strip. The nasal cannula assembly may also include a tether, tether clip, and / or tether connector to help support the weight of the main gas delivery catheter.
