D. Byrne has been "still waiting" since around 1980 or so:

Who the heck is D. Byrne and what does he have to do with body movement during sleep?

They've scurried under the refrigerator.
Give 'em a couple more days.
That, or they realized

it's a stupid idea.

No scurring here, just watchful waiting to see how you justify that movement and oximetry data incorporation would be a stupid idea.
Still waiting

Read topic. There is a topic that states Resmed is NOT studying /investigating movement sensor? Could you please explain why you think that oximeters and movement sensors are stupid adjuncts to consumer machines? My personal philosophy is that more information that relates to therapy is desirable.

Because it's a stupid idea.

It’s such a stupid idea that Resmed sells an oximeter kit.
And allegedly working with Wellue oximeters to sync via Bluetooth

Similar situation. showed Oscar to doc, and he noted that 75% of my events occurred during big leak periods. I would go to sleep for 2 hours and only have 2 events while I was at minimal leak. During the next 3 hours with leaks between 35-65, I would have 40 events. Then during the final 3 hours at...

Talk about useless, here's a screen shoot of Fitbit's output for overnight oxygen. No actual data, no idea what the distinction is between high and low variation, "high variation @ sometime (have to guess) 5am and 6 am.

There are other ways to deal with FLs besides the auto adjusting pressure feature in apap mode. So even if a person has some problematic FLs they can usually be dealt with using other measures if needed. That might be useful to talk about, unless you already have a link to some place else in the fo...

One of the side effects of Cpap mode is that the impact of Flow Limitations index is neutered.

Do you mean that the Cpap does not react to flow limitations?

Then why isn't [MyAir] avaialble immediately after a session? It's not. Why is it that when ResMed's servers are unavailable, MyAir will not show any of that data? If it was transferred via Bloothtooth, it would be available. Things may work differently in Canada, but on my phone the MyAir data is ...

My husband had double ablation, up one leg for atrial fibrillation and up the other leg for atrial flutter. One side had to be burned, the other frozen. His surgery was successful and solved both problems. Hi, can you elaborate on that? We’re both ablations done at the same time and the catheters w...

Sometimes it is possible to correct "faulty wiring". Wish your brother well, In the ablation technique the surgeon kills (by intense heat or intense freezing) heart tissue so that the electrical signals can't pass into the atria from the veins. The biggest drawback so far is that the surgeon cannot...

@ Dataq, Thanks for that explanation, it mirrors what my doctors have told me, but you added a bit more detail. I went to my cardiologist, who referred me to an electro-doc. One of the first things my electro-doc did was to order a sleep study and it showed that I had mild apnea. I'd never been test...

The electrophysiologist and the sleep doctor agree that Sleep Apnea causes, or at least exacerbates Atrial Fibrillation. Do many of you have AFIB?

Why am I even discussing this?

Ah, because you said:

When using a nasal or pillow mask, the pressure can push your jaw a little forward

And I questioned that the force of cpap pressure (4-20 cm) would be sufficient to actually push the mandible forward.
