Methods and apparatus provide monitoring of a sleep disordered breathing state of a person such as for screening. One or more sensors may be configured for non-contact active and/or passive sensing. The processor(s) () may extract respiratory effort signal(s) from one or more motion signals generated by active non-contact sensing with the sensor(s). The processor(s) may extract one or more energy band signals from an acoustic audio signal generated by passive non-contact sensing with the sensor(s). The processor(s) may assess the energy band signal(s) and/or the respiratory efforts signal(s) to generate intensity signal(s) representing sleep disorder breathing modulation. The processor(s) may classify feature(s) derived from the one or more intensity signals to generate measure(s) of sleep disordered breathing. The processor may generate a sleep disordered breathing indicator based on the measure(s) of sleep disordered breathing. Some versions may evaluate sensing signal(s) to generate indication(s) of cough event(s) and/or cough type.

Methods and apparatus for detection of disordered breathing

Systems and methods are disclosed for categorizing and/or characterizing a user interface. The systems and methods include generating acoustic data associated with an acoustic reflection of an acoustic signal, the acoustic reflection being indicative of, at least in part, one or more features of a user interface coupled to a respiratory therapy device via a conduit. The systems and methods further include analyzing the generated acoustic data. The systems and methods further include categorizing and/or characterizing the user interface based, at least in part, on the analyzed acoustic data.

Systems and methods for categorizing and/or characterizing a user interface

A method of detecting rainout in a respiratory therapy system that includes a conduit fluidly coupled to a user interface comprises generating, via at least one microphone, acoustic data representative of noise associated with the respiratory therapy system. The method further comprises analyzing the acoustic data to detect a presence of liquid in the respiratory therapy system. The method further comprises causing an action to be performed, based on the detected presence of the liquid.
