At this time there is no SleepyHead app. There has been some discussion about maybe doing one for phones at some time in the future but I don't see it happening anytime soon. If/when it happens it will most likely be a scaled down version and not free....at least that is what rumor control is saying.

You will need either a PC or Mac computer if you wish to use SleepyHead.

I am not aware of any app at all.

All that I know of is the MyAir thing which would could be accessed with your phone like any other website.

Don't trust to much to the MyAir, as it really doesn't tell you anything important. What it DOES do, though, is connect you to a great support team. As I mentioned in another post, they recently e-mailed me to let me know I was having significant leaks. While I would have preferred to also be able to see those leaks for myself, their e-mail allowed me to correct what was rapidly becoming a problem. So yes, do the MyAir, then get SleepyHead to be able to see for yourself what's going on. Only problem for me is the blasted SD card, bah!

I'll say one thing about the new dream station.. I got mine and took it out to elk camp and ran it off a generator,the other guys actually slept this year,I should also tell everyone,I took it out the 2nd day I started using it,the cool thing is it sent all the info to the that I got it from,they even made some adjustments for me. Now the 2nd thing about it,I'm a commercial fisherman fishing in the Bering sea,I called yesterday to check in and they have been getting all the info,I'm not sure how other than it's connecting through the boats wi-fi that I thought was locked down pretty good..So far I'm liking my dream station,although what the display shows doesn't seem right,I talked to the place I got it from and they think it's because of my work schedule it is messed up,doesn't really matter to me what the display shows,I'm feeling better,my 18 hr days I'm not dozing off,and bed time I fall right to sleep,wake up wide awake...

No, sleepyhead does not run on phones but it does run on Windows, Linux, and MacOS. You need to be able to plug the memory card from the cpap into the computer running sleepyhead so that it can read in the data and display it.

No, it's not using the boat's wifi. It communicates with resmed via the cellular phone network - unless you put it in airplane mode. I'm glad your cpap therapy is working well for you.

Not when I'm 40 miles offshore!!! There's no cell service out here...when I brought the boat back up to Alaska a month ago,I was 600 miles offshore,and data was being sent in somehow...

The cellular network includes satellites as well, you know. How do you think it works? Do you think it's magically bypassing the security of your router? It doesn't need to be connected all the time. It just checks from time to time if it has new data that hasn't been sent yet and sends it when/if it can.
The product line has been trimmed down to AirSense 10 AutoSet, Elite and CPAP (basic entry level model). The Escape™ name seems to no longer be used and changed to simple AirSense™ 10 CPAP. The AutoSet for Her model is still available, however the pink colored machine casing seems to have changed to a toned down flowered design. It is often debated around our office as to why a standard fixed level CPAP model is made when Auto CPAP (APAP) technology offers both auto mode or fixed pressure mode. Differences between basic entry level devices and “Elite” type of devices simply come down to reporting capabilities. These reporting capabilities can be downloaded via a SD card (standard with all units) and a built-in wireless option that allows data to be seen and changed via cellular communication.

Really....cellular network using satellites....hum.. Make me wonder why we pay $2800 a month for our internet use,wow can you tell me how this company can get this cellular system....wait what number do I call when I'm offshore from Dutch harbor about 400 miles up to the Russian border,I'd like to be using my cell phone instead of our sat system...you could become rich if you share this great info to the other 200 boats out here..,who'd of thunk thre was someone as smart as you dealing with sat comms...surely not us dumb fisherman out here...

Just wanted to give an update. I can now finally use this machine about 8 hours a night. I TOOK OFF the autoramp. It seemed to now bother me more as I got used to the machine. It now comes on full blast and I have no problem with that.

I adjusted my humidity setting from auto to 2, which gives less water usage.

Also, I think the machine starts over for the next day at 12pm? For ex, if you seleep from say from 11am-4pm, it will record for 11-12pm, and then do another entry for 12-4pm.

it's most likely that the data was just buffered in the machines memory, and when it was able to connect, it dumped the data.

I haven't read anything about the dreamstation connection, I'm just guessing that it's cellular, like the clip on modems that respironics had for the prs1 line.

er, no.

there are satellite phone services, but they're no way similar to cellular service.
