Combination respiratory therapy device, system, and method
First Claim
1. An apparatus including a computing device configured with a combination respiratory therapy prescription creator embodied in one or more non-transitory machine-accessible storage media executable by the computing device to:
- receive data indicating a respiratory condition of a person;
determine, based on the respiratory condition, a combination of pre-defined respiratory therapies from a plurality of possible therapies, the possible therapies comprising lung ventilation, lung volume recruitment, mucus extraction, and mucus mobilization therapies;
select a combination respiratory therapy device from a family of combination respiratory therapy devices included in the apparatus based on the determined combination of therapies, wherein each of the combination respiratory therapy devices comprises a plurality of separate interfaces that are engageable with the person to provide;
(i) a combination of lung ventilation therapy or lung volume recruitment therapy and (ii) mucus extraction therapy;
or (i) lung ventilation therapy or lung volume recruitment therapy and (ii)mucus mobilization therapy;
or (i) lung ventilation therapy or lung volume recruitment therapy and (ii) mucus extraction therapy and (iii) mucus mobilization therapy; and
based on the respiratory condition, create a respiratory therapy prescription to be executed by the selected combination respiratory therapy device without disengaging the selected combination respiratory therapy device from the person, the respiratory therapy prescription specifying at least;
(i) a lung ventilation or a lung volume recruitment therapy and (ii) a mucus extraction therapy or a mucus mobilization therapy to be provided by the selected combination respiratory therapy device to the person;
wherein the computing device is included in the apparatus and the combination respiratory therapy devices of the apparatus from which to select comprise a blower for providing pressurized air to a mouthpiece coupled to the person'"'"'s airway and an air pulse generator configured for delivering air pulses to both a garment worn by the person and a nasal interface worn by the person.

Abstract
A combination respiratory therapy management system creates a combined respiratory therapy prescription that can be executed by a combined respiratory therapy device to provide multiple coordinated respiratory therapies to a patient. The system can update the combined respiratory therapy prescription and implement the updates while the combined respiratory therapy device is in use. Some versions of the system provide additional features that allow the combined respiratory therapy prescriptions to be created, accessed, shared with other users, and performed by the combination respiratory therapy device in a customizable user-friendly and non-threatening way.
