Automation for a system and/or method detects and/or controls treatment of inspiratory flow limitation. The system may include a flow rate sensor configured to generate a signal representing a respiratory flow rate of a patient. It may include a recording device configured to record the generated respiratory flow rate signal during a diagnosis session. It may include a computing device 7040 configured to detect a degree of inspiratory flow limitation of the patient on the recorded respiratory flow rate signal. The method may include extracting an inspiratory portion of each breath during a detection and/or monitoring session from a respiratory flow rate signal of the patient, calculating a feature vector from each inspiratory flow portion, labelling each feature vector as flow limited or not flow limited, and/or computing a metric based on the labels, the metric indicating the degree of inspiratory flow limitation of the patient during the session.本技術揭示一種用於檢測及/或控制吸氣流量限制的治療之自動化系統及/或方法。該系統可包括一流量感測器，其構成產生表示患者呼吸流量的信號。該系統可包括一記錄裝置，其構成在診斷階段期間記錄該產生的呼吸流量信號。該系統可包括一估計裝置(7040)，其構成針對該記錄的呼吸流量信號檢測患者吸氣流量限制的程度。該方法可包括擷取患者呼吸流量信號的檢測及/或監督階段期間的每個呼吸的吸氣部分；計算每個吸氣流量部分的一特徵向量；標記每個特徵向量成為流量限制或非流量限制；及/或基於該等標記以估計度量，該度量表示在診斷階段期間的患者吸氣流量限制的程度。
