Data Collection and CPAP Machines

Just as more people are using smart phone apps and fitness trackers such as Fitbit to record their health data, the major manufacturers of sleep apnea therapy equipment are finding ways to track data from your PAP machine. Today we’re going to look at the benefits of tracking sleep apnea data, and some of the unique ways different PAP machines do so:

CPAP Machine Data Benefits

Data collected by most of these smart CPAP machines typically includes the hours of use, leak rate, and other information that indicates how severe your sleep apnea is or how many apnea events you have while you sleep.  All of this data helps your doctor make adjustments to your CPAP therapy to make it more effective.

The CPAP machine data collected will also help create more advanced, effective CPAP machines in the future.  Some examples include myAir™ by ResMed, a feature incorporated into the AirSense10 AutoSet APAP Machine, or Nightlog, a feature used by the Z1 Travel CPAP machine.

What is myAir™?

myAir™ is an online support system and app that uses the Cloud to monitor and send compliance data to you and your doctor, and even allows your doctor to make changes to your machine remotely.  The myAir™ system will encourage you or provide you with valuable advice through text or email if you ask it to!

What is Nightlog?

Nightlog is an app for both Android and Apple that syncs with the Z1 Travel CPAP machine, and offers helpful graphs to show you what your sleep patterns are during a given night. It also allows you to share this information via email, so you and your doctor can discuss the results.

What do SD cards do?

The SD card, such as what is found in the System One REMstar 60 Series BiPAP AutoSV Advanced Machine also collects Apnea/Hypopnea Index, leak rate, and average pressure readings over 7 and 30 days. The information is then stored in in both its smart SD card as well as the on-board memory system, and is wired, wireless, or broadband modem capable.

Because of the CPAP therapy data collected, machines such as the AirSense 10, the System One REMstar and the Z1 Travel will continually provide some of the most customized CPAP therapy available.  CPAP Central is here to answer any of your questions regarding CPAP data or other features of these CPAP machines.
