v.4: New machine design can broaden accessibility

Accessibility could be enhanced through existing software in the device (large type, speech, etc.)
You could take your Android to bed and watch your data in real time or in the morning.
(or hear it if you are blind--coding the data with sounds)

Cool and maybe add a system for recording sleep position? Would super neato to have sleep position recorded over time so we can see if there are any positions which increase AHI and those that may decrease AHI + minimize flow limitations. I'd buy it!

I think the appeal of a 'machine in a bag' is somewhat limited but would certainly be an appropriate product for aftermarket.

Personally, I wouldn't want one on my nightstand - the current carry bag for when I travel is more than sufficient - but I can see how it might appeal to some (although not specifically to persons with disabilities, whom I cannot perceive reaping a particular benefit from it)...

Some accessibility would be good. My friend has been blind since birth and Cpap has been a very trying thing for her to deal with.
