What changed
The EPO published Resmed Digital Health Inc.'s patent application EP4396833A1 for an intelligent respiratory entrainment system. The patent covers methods and systems for respiratory synchronization using health informatics approaches, classified under multiple G16H subclasses including G16H 20/30 (rehabilitation), G16H 40/63 (medical devices monitoring), and G16H 50/20 (diagnosis support). The publication is designated across 38 European and neighboring states.
Medical device manufacturers developing respiratory therapy or digital health monitoring products should review the patent claims to assess infringement risk. Companies operating in sleep apnea, COPD management, or respiratory rehabilitation spaces may need to conduct freedom-to-operate analyses. Validations in individual designated states will follow separate national phase procedures.
What to do next
- Review patent claims for potential infringement exposure
- Monitor designated state validations in key markets
- Assess freedom-to-operate for respiratory entrainment technologies
