Re: AHI 5 = fine. AHI 1.5 = tired. Why?

Is mouth breathing be detected by the machine in any way, say by accounting for any pressure variations or inbalances it may cause? I feel like saying this stuff is frustrating to figure out, but I guess that applies to every person on the forum so maybe it doesn't bear repeating. Thanks believe it ...

Would you rather look fat, or be fat?

Pointless question: If you could wave a magic wand and choose, what would you pick: 1) You look great to others, but are actually very overweight and no one can tell. 2) You look very overweight to others but are actually healthy It's been kind of frustrating to me because I have a serious weight pr...

Re: CPAP.Com Request?

Hey iron, thanks. I like Unity it's really cool. As far what code I use, usually for apps it's full native objective-c (iPhone) or Java (Android), although in this case I think I hybrid might work well. One hybrid system I like is trigger.io . On the server I previously did a lot of .NET, but these ...

Re: CPAP.Com Request?

Woot - I love this. Whether cpap.com can lend a machine or not, it is just great when companies actually connect and communicate as real people. Even for giant companies it seems like some participate in forums and user group meetings, and some don't and just rely on press releases. As I mentioned t...

Re: CPAP.Com Request?

Hi Dave, Yes, I think it's important to support Android. iPhone may always be a few weeks ahead for practical reasons, however it would not require waiting for everything to be redone from scratch for Android. The key is to choose the right architecture up front to allow this. For technical folks, t...

CPAP.Com Request?

Does anyone know the best person to contact at cpap.com about possibly borrowing a Phillips machine for a software test? I’ve now actually got a real iPhone app talking wirelessly to a CPAP machine and displaying data. As far as I know it’s the first time it’s been done in the history of mankind wit...

good to know this kind of thing, thanks for the tip - FattyMagoo wrote: The other thing to consider (especially if power-on issues become a sticky point) is that the PRS1 system will check the card and write to it when it has been put back in -- for instance when I've left it with my computer overni...

Re: Have a Phillips model with SD card?

>>What kind of card do you have? All of them. . At least any I can find, that are not ruled out by inherent limitations like the eyefi card. The Toshiba is a nice card, but it turns out it requires certain files to exist on the card. ResMed machines don't allow for extra files, and if you try to hid...

Re: Have a Phillips model with SD card?

Excellent Pugsy, thank you. Next up I need to test with my wireless cards to see how long the 660 keeps power on to the SD slot. Since I live next to cpap.com, I'm going to see if they might let me stop by and test one. Okay...just did the test...both outside the P series folder and inside it. The P...

Have a Phillips model with SD card?

As mentioned in another thread I'm testing some options for wireless CPAP software. If anyone can tell me if your SD works with an extra file that would help move things forward. The steps to check this would be: 1). Using Windows or Mac, create a new file on your SD card. Can be anything, like hell...

Re: Weight loss stall first week into CPAP

It looks like you are now getting weight loss advice from two people named Chunky and Fatty. What could possible go wrong? 5 components to weight loss: 1) enough good, quality sleep. 2) 8-8-ounce glasses of water a day 3) generous (but not excessive--about 12-30 grams) amounts of low-fat--- not nonf...

Re: excellent documentary on sleep deprivation

Good video, thanks Oak. The really scary thing to me about SD is that it hides itself as other problems. You can start to question yourself on your basic abilities and health, it can really mess with your mental state IMO. Guessing I'm not the only one who has felt this way? https://www.youtube.com/...

Re: Pulse/Ox to the rescue.

Diggah, I'll take you up on that if you can help with a simple test: Take your SD card from your cpap, put it in your computer and copy one small file to it. Then put the card back in the cpap. Does it still work or does it give an error? The S9 does not allow foreign files so I'm having to modify t...

Re: Pulse/Ox to the rescue.

What model of Oximeter do you have?

Most of the time I find no correspondence between the data of APAP and Pulse Ox. Of course, the value and pattern of both are important, but, which is more important? Sorry, if you find it a dumb question.

Slow metabolism: You probably don't have it

I tried a fat camp, I'll admit it. A high percentage of people there thought their weight problem was partially related to slow metabolism or some chemical imbalance. Apparently this concern is so common that they do blood work and testing right when you get there to check it out. Guess what? Out of...
