A system to configure respiratory therapy modes for users of a respiratory therapy device, the system comprising: (a) one or more processors configured to execute computer program modules, wherein the computer program modules comprise: a data gathering module configured to receive usage information from a respiratory therapy device which may be operated in at least two different therapy modes, said therapy modes including two or more of a CPAP mode, a multi-pressure mode and a volume-control mode, wherein the usage information received from the respiratory therapy device includes an average duration of daily usage of the respiratory therapy device in a first therapy mode, and in that the computer program modules further comprise: a device configuration module configured to interact with the respiratory therapy device, wherein the device configuration module is further configured such that, responsive to the respiratory therapy device being used in the first therapy mode for a threshold amount of time the device configuration module transmits a command to the respiratory therapy device that causes the respiratory therapy device to switch from the first therapy mode to a second therapy mode, wherein the command further dictates one or more mode parameters of the second therapy mode for the respiratory therapy device based on the usage information, including at least said average duration of daily usage, received from the respiratory therapy device while the respiratory therapy device was operating in the first therapy mode, said one or more mode parameters including one or more of a constant pressure level, an inspiratory pressure level (IPAP), an expiratory pressure level (EPAP), a maximum pressure, a minimum pressure, a difference between IPAP and EPAP, a rate of change of pressure, a shape or waveform followed between pressure transitions and a backup breath rate. (a) one or more processors configured to execute computer program modules, wherein the computer program modules comprise: a data gathering module configured to receive usage information from a respiratory therapy device which may be operated in at least two different therapy modes, said therapy modes including two or more of a CPAP mode, a multi-pressure mode and a volume-control mode, wherein the usage information received from the respiratory therapy device includes an average duration of daily usage of the respiratory therapy device in a first therapy mode, and in that the computer program modules further comprise: a device configuration module configured to interact with the respiratory therapy device, wherein the device configuration module is further configured such that, responsive to the respiratory therapy device being used in the first therapy mode for a threshold amount of time the device configuration module transmits a command to the respiratory therapy device that causes the respiratory therapy device to switch from the first therapy mode to a second therapy mode, wherein the command further dictates one or more mode parameters of the second therapy mode for the respiratory therapy device based on the usage information, including at least said average duration of daily usage, received from the respiratory therapy device while the respiratory therapy device was operating in the first therapy mode, a data gathering module configured to receive usage information from a respiratory therapy device which may be operated in at least two different therapy modes, said therapy modes including two or more of a CPAP mode, a multi-pressure mode and a volume-control mode, wherein the usage information received from the respiratory therapy device includes an average duration of daily usage of the respiratory therapy device in a first therapy mode, and in that the computer program modules further comprise: a device configuration module configured to interact with the respiratory therapy device, wherein the device configuration module is further configured such that, responsive to the respiratory therapy device being used in the first therapy mode for a threshold amount of time the device configuration module transmits a command to the respiratory therapy device that causes the respiratory therapy device to switch from the first therapy mode to a second therapy mode, wherein the command further dictates one or more mode parameters of the second therapy mode for the respiratory therapy device based on the usage information, including at least said average duration of daily usage, received from the respiratory therapy device while the respiratory therapy device was operating in the first therapy mode,
