Storing, controlling, and porting respiratory settings from a remote server
Disclosed are systems and methods for automatically porting respiratory therapy settings to a new respiratory therapy device. Currently, when a patient replaces receives a replacement respiratory therapy device, the prescription settings must be manually ported. Accordingly, the inventors have developed technology to automatically, port, translate, and validate therapy settings and modes to a replacement respiratory therapy device.

6 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the set of information includes weight, BMI, muscle tone changes, or any combination thereof.
7 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the set of information comprises audio data received through a microphone, and wherein the audio data is processed to determine whether the patient has a significant change in tone.
8 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the set of information comprises image data of a face that is compared to previously captured image data to identify a significant facial change.
9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the significant facial change indicates a significant change in BMI.
10 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the receiving, from the prescription server, prescription therapy settings further comprises:
requesting a set of oximeter data output from a pulse oximeter;
processing the oximeter data to determine whether the prescription therapy settings should be updated; and
flagging the patient for follow-up in the prescription therapy database and denying the request to port the prescription therapy settings if the settings should not be updated.
11 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the prescription therapy settings are received over a cellular antenna connected to the first respiratory therapy device.
12 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the prescription therapy settings are received over a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connection to a mobile device connected to the first respiratory therapy device.
13 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the prescription therapy settings are encrypted from the prescription server to the first respiratory therapy device.
14 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the prescription therapy settings comprise minimum pressure, maximum pressure, and a therapy mode.
15 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the receiving, through the interface, an account ID associated with the patient's account and a serial number associated with the second respiratory therapy device, further comprises:
displaying a code on a display of the first respiratory therapy device;
requesting, on the interface, the code to be entered; and
only receiving the general and prescription therapy settings of the code is validated.
16 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the receiving the prescription therapy settings further comprises translating the prescription therapy settings by a predetermined translation factor based on a difference between the first and second respiratory therapy device.
17 . A system comprising:
a prescription database with prescription therapy settings referenced to patient prescription IDs comprising a unique identifier for each patient in the database in communication with a prescription server;
a patient database with general patient data referenced to a set of patient account IDs in communication with a patient server;
a first respiratory therapy device;
an interface;
a memory containing machine readable medium comprising machine executable code having stored thereon instructions for performing a method;
a control system coupled to the memory comprising one or more processors, the control system configured to execute the machine executable code to cause the control system to:
receive input, from the interface, indicating a patient would like to port prescription therapy settings from a second respiratory therapy device;
receiving, through the interface, an account ID associated with the patient and a serial number associated with the second respiratory therapy device;
sending, to the patient server, a request comprising the account ID and the serial number to retrieve the prescription therapy settings for the second respiratory therapy device from the prescription server;
receiving, from the patient server based on the prescription ID, prescription therapy settings for the second respiratory therapy device if the serial number is validated set from the prescription server; and
storing the prescription therapy settings for the second respiratory therapy device in a memory of the first respiratory therapy device.
18 . The system of claim 17 , wherein storing the prescription therapy settings in a memory of the second respiratory therapy device further comprises storing the prescription therapy settings for a single usage session.
19 . The system of claim 18 , wherein the single usage session comprises deleting the prescription therapy settings in the memory of the second respiratory therapy device after a certain time window has expired.
20 . The system of claim 18 , wherein the single usage session comprises deleting the prescription therapy settings in the memory of the second respiratory therapy device after the respiratory therapy device has been powered off.
21 . The system of claim 18 , wherein the single usage session comprises deleting the prescription therapy settings in the memory of the second respiratory therapy device after 24 hours.

23 . A method comprising:
receiving, at a prescription server from a patient computing device, a request to port prescription therapy settings to a respiratory therapy device comprising an account ID associated with the patient and a serial number associated with the respiratory therapy device;
receiving at the prescription server, a query for a prescription database for the account ID and the serial number to retrieve a set of prescription therapy settings from the prescription database;
processing, with the prescription server, the serial number to determine whether it is validly associated with the account ID; and
