This technical disclosure describes improvements that would be readily apparent to a Person Having Ordinary Skill In The Art (PHOSITA) when considered in combination with the foundational architecture disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 11,857,727.

Summary of the Inventive Concept

A next-generation respiratory care system that integrates artificial intelligence, machine learning, and real-time patient feedback to provide personalized therapy and predict/prevent respiratory complications.

Background and Problem Solved

The original patient interface device with a double-Y supporting structure, while effective, has limitations in terms of adaptability, real-time feedback, and predictive capabilities. The new inventive concept addresses these limitations by incorporating advanced technologies to create a more intelligent and responsive respiratory care system.

Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept

The new inventive concept comprises a patient interface device with a frame assembly having a double-Y supporting structure, which is integrated with a gas supply unit, control module, and sensor array. The control module utilizes artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to analyze real-time patient feedback and adjust the gas flow rate and pressure accordingly. The system also includes a portable gas supply unit with a rechargeable battery and wireless communication module for remote monitoring and feedback. The patient interface device features adjustable arm members and a cushion member with a dynamic seal that adjusts to the patient's facial contours.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new inventive concept introduces the novel combination of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and real-time patient feedback to create a more intelligent and responsive respiratory care system. The integration of these advanced technologies with the double-Y supporting structure patient interface device represents a significant inventive step beyond the original patent.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments may include variations in the control module's algorithms, sensor array configurations, and gas supply unit designs. Additionally, the system could be adapted for use in different respiratory therapy applications, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or sleep apnea treatment.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The intelligent respiratory care system has significant commercial potential in the respiratory therapy market, with applications in hospitals, clinics, and home care settings. The system's ability to provide personalized therapy and predict/prevent respiratory complications could lead to improved patient outcomes, reduced healthcare costs, and increased market share for companies adopting this technology.
