A pressure support system (138) includes a gas flow generating system (112) a patient interface device (140), and a tubing (142). The flow generating system includes a gas source (124), a controller (144), and a first inductive coil. The patient interface device (140) includes a second inductive coil (148) and an input element. The tubing is disposed between the flow generating system and the patient interface device to carry a flow of gas from the gas source o to the patient interface device. The tubing includes a third inductive coil (152) structured to transmit power and/or a signal between the first inductive coil of the pressure support system controller and the second inductive coil of the patient interface device.
