Abstract
A system for providing respiratory therapy to a subject using a subject interface (). The system responding and/or adapting to a detection of the subject exerting a heat influence on the system, e.g. the subject increasing the temperature of the subject interface. For respiratory therapy that includes the use of a humidifier (), condensation or rainout is commonly a problem. The response and/or adaptation may inhibit condensation from forming along the subject interface.
