Breathing apparatus with breath detection software
A breathing apparatus includes a flow outlet airline in fluid communication with the tubing and breath detection software. The flow outlet airline includes an airline outlet, and the flow outlet airline is configured to supply an output gas to a user via the airline outlet. The breathing apparatus further includes a breath detection airline including an airline inlet. The breath detection airline is configured to receive breathing gas from the user during exhalation by the user via the airline inlet. The breathing apparatus further includes a pressure sensor in direct fluid communication with the breath detection airline. The pressure sensor is configured to measure breathing pressure from the user and to generate sensor pressure data indicative of breathing by the user. The controller is programmed to predict the breathing by the user based on the sensor breathing data received from the pressure sensor.
