Abstract
Systems and methods for synchronizing machine-induced expiratory airflow of a subject with user-induced expiratory airflow include an indicator time at which a user should initiate treatment to aid airway clearance of the subject. Such treatment may include compressing the stomach area of the subject. At the indicator time, a user responds to an indication, e.g. an audible sound, by initiating treatment in accordance with a therapeutic regimen.
