THE SOFTWARE FOR THE BREATHING MACHINE OF PHILIPS

CAN YOU TELL ME WHERE I COULD DOWNLOAD THE SOFTWARE FOR THE BREATHING MACHINE OF PHILIPS?
THANK YOU

I apologize for the rude response above.

Welcome to the board.

The free, open source, SleepyHead software will work with Philips Respironics CPAP machines.

The official software made by Philips is called "Encore." Most of us prefer SleepyHead. The Encore Basic version of this software is the easiest version to install and use.

Can you tell us which CPAP machine you have? Take the water tank out so you don't spill water into your machine. Then turn the machine over, and look for the label on the bottom of the machine. You should see something like "560 REF". Tell us what it says on your CPAP machine.

The official Philips USER software is called Sleep Mapper.

Encore is intended for doctors and such.
Sleepyhead has many more features and is a wonderful product.

But Sleep Mapper is a nice introduction to the world of monitoring your apnea treatment and is very easy to use.

Encore may be intended for doctors, but very many of us have used it for years.

Actually I think that the official user software that Respironics would really like to be used is the one they sell and make money on.
Encore Viewer 2.1 for the tidy sum of $99
Viewer was written specifically for patients to use with no ability to change anything from within the software.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that one. Does it look anything like the free web-based program ONKOR ?



One of the things I like about SleepMapper is that all the data's in my on-line profile and I can access it from different places, where SleepyHead is on my hard drive.

Encore Viewer reports have always looked identical to Encore Pro reports (as well as Encore Basic reports). If I cut off the "produced by software so and so" from the reports you wouldn't be able to tell which software gave you the report.
And of course none of the Encore reports resemble ONKOR reports.

If you have seen an Encore Pro or Encore Basic report...then you have seen what an Encore Viewer report looks like.

Note that you can also have access to your data from different locations by installing dropbox on your computer and storing your data files in a dropbox folder. This will allow access from sleepyhead installed on different computers. It also has the advantage that it automatically keeps backup copies of files that change.
