Abstract

A respiratory therapy system for providing continuous positive air pressure (CPAP) to a patient may include a flow generator for generating a supply of breathable gas, a sensor to measure a physical quantity while the breathable gas is supplied, and a computing device. The computing device may be configured to: receive sensor data that is based on measured physical property of the supply of breathable gas; control the flow generator to adjust a property of the supply of breathable gas; display a question and a plurality of selectable responses; receive a first input selecting one of the selectable responses; and display a coaching response corresponding to the selected response.
