What Should CPAPTalk.com Become?
CAB's could provide information to equipment manufacturers about the problems experienced by users, what interferes with compliance, what users like or dislike about their machines. They can serve as a link between a community of users and manufacturers; passing information both ways

I visited ResMed recently to purchase a machine and asked the question as I find the full face mask the best, but also love the Activa when I don't have a blocked nasal passages. They said they had considered doing a full face activa, but decided not to because as the activa stands, it's a lot larger than the standard nasal masks due to the extra large cushion, and that would mean that a full face mask would be enormous.Anonymous wrote:Would you please ask ResMed if it has any plans to bring out an Activa as a full-face mask? If so, when will it be out? If not, can their product development people start working on it? I dream of it. Thanks.

I support the ideas of linking more with manufacturers/designers.

ok HERE is where I could see a use for subforums. I honestly haven't SEEN an interview with a manufacturer. It might be helpful to have a subforum where we could just drop in and POST a question which could then be compiled into a list of questions for a manufacturer. I would think that these would have to be heavily moderated if there was any hope at all that the manufactuer's reps would actually come in and directly answer questions. They aren't going to read through a lot of fluff. But as a tool to compile questions... might be useful.
A xPAP advocacy group would be really great, but I have NO idea how that would be handled.
