Abstract

Systems and methods can determine whether a patient is attached to a respiratory device (such as to via a patient interface) by analyzing a flow parameter signal in the time domain. Additionally, the processes can classify the patient attachment status into one of the four categories: detached, attaching, attached, or detaching. The system can include a non-sealed patient interface, such as a nasal cannula in a nasal high flow therapy, or any other patient interfaces. Data of the patient's use of the respiratory system can provide therapy compliance and long-term trend of use information and/or progress in the patient's respiratory functions and/or other physiological functions.
