The knowledge in this paper describe methods and systems for supplying supplemental oxygen to patients for use in sub-acute respiratory illnesses which maintains healthy blood oxygen content in the patients by controlled dosing of oxygen with a measured response to the patient\'s actual blood oxygen content are disclosed. The dosing can be provided by simple ON/OFF control over the delivery of oxygen or the amount of oxygen delivered to the patient with each inhalation can be varied in response to the patient\'s need as determined by a more sophisticated control scheme, such as PID (proportional–integral–derivative) controller and Fuzzy logic control (FLC) that utilizes the difference between the patient\'s actual blood oxygen content and a target blood oxygen content and/or trends in the blood oxygen content. The systems and methods are particularly directed at patients receiving supplemental oxygen therapy in a sub-acute care environment. The result of the two controllers is good and best one is the fuzzy logic algorithm.
