RESPIRATORY THERAPY APPARATUS AND METHODS

A vibratory respiratory therapy device (100) has a valve element (11) on a rocker arm (12) that opens and closes an opening (10) during exhalation through the device and thereby generates sound. A mobile phone (20) with a microphone (21) picks up the sound generated and has a processor (22) that con...

Zusammenfassung:	A vibratory respiratory therapy device (100) has a valve element (11) on a rocker arm (12) that opens and closes an opening (10) during exhalation through the device and thereby generates sound. A mobile phone (20) with a microphone (21) picks up the sound generated and has a processor (22) that converts the sound signal into a sound energy signal in order to measure its frequency. The processor (22) computes a measure of pressure in the device (10) by multiplying the detected frequency by a fixed factor and adding a fixed constant to the product. The pressure data is used to monitor patient use of the device.
