I think the more interesting question would be...

For those who are dialed in (thanks to the help of OSCAR) on their CPAP therapy on their ResMed machines...do they even look at OSCAR that often if the ResMed screen shows very favorable results in the morning - especially if the AHI numbers are looking good?

Unless you're one of those who tracks everything and is a data nerd...I think looking at the ResMed screen in the morning or taking a quick look at MyAir is sufficient for most with their therapy. (again, I say this for those that are pretty comfortable and dialed in with their machines - thanks to OSCAR).

OSCAR does has it's place (especially if there's been some weird results showing from MyAir) though
* This is the internet - what I write will probably NOT come across as it would in person; where one can read a person's face.
My posts are sometimes tongue & cheek w/some snarky sarcasm mixed in.
I leave it up to you to figure it out!
:wink:

Exactly.

I go one step further and say there is a big body of CPAP users who are some combination of incapable or unmotivated to use OSCAR. MyAir is a great tool for these users.

OSCAR users: Pat yourself on the back. You are operating in rarefied air. :mrgreen:

I stopped using Oscar and now just look at Myair stats.
Oscar would show data which could not be explained so whats the point of it anyway,
If Myair shows that my AHI is good, leakage is low and the time used is OK why do I need anything else

Did you try to get members to explain it to you?
