What app do you use to track your CPAP info?

Post by hurricanefloyd » Fri Jul 25, 2014 8:34 am

What apps are the good ones? My CPAP advertises SleepMapper but the reviews are spotty and it needs access to the phone's camera and microphone for some reason. I would rather go with something else but I don't know what else is out there and what works best with my ResMed.

Most of us don't use a smart phone app track our CPAP data. We use a computer program called SleepyHead, which displays everything the machine records. Or we quietly obtain the official software for our machine from a source other than the DME, who will lie and say the software is not available.

Official software for Resmed machines is ResScan.
Official software for Philips Respironics machines is Encore.


You can find download links for SleepyHead, ResScan, and Encore if you wander over to the apneaboard.com forum and register over there. (The links are only available to registered members of the apneaboard forum.)

Sleepmapper, as I understand it, offers very little data. With Resmed, I believe you can use either Sleepyhead or Encore, or Encore Pro, but I don't know if you can get an app for your phone with those. Someone with more knowledge will be along, I'm sure, with the right information.

SleepMapper doesn't require a phone or modem or anything, you upload the data from your SD card just like in Sleepyhead. It's kind of nice that you get a web page with your data so you can see it from other computers whereas Sleepyhead saves your charts and info only on the computer you run the program on.

If you're interested enough in your own treatment to be perusing this forum, you'll want Sleepyhead for all the data.

SleepMapper only gives three parameters - hours of therapy, mask fit, and AHI. Here are a couple screen shots:

The correct hardware/software linkage is:
Respironics - SleepyHead, Encore, Encore Pro
ResMed - SleepyHead, ResScan (did I spell that correctly?)

Just learned that SleepyHead software was available for Mac! The only reason I was keeping my old PC laptop was to run my sleep software. Was using FP Infosmart (they did not like that I had it!) Then, I switched to Intellipap and that software was cool, no problems, but still had to use the PC.

Downloaded the Mac version and I am most pleased! Thanks Mark!

Haven't loaded it yet but Encore Pro and SleepyHead would run on my Surface Pro. That make a handy way to carry your data with you.
