Quick Summary:

I could make some presentation about OSCAR.

https:// www <dot> sleepfiles <dot> com/OSCAR/

OSCAR is an open source data analysis program for those CPAP machines. OSCAR stands for Open Source CPAP Analysis Reporter.

Long version:

As I was going through the process to try different masks and a CPAP machine from a local company, I met someone who admitted he was a freak of data, information and stats. He is a statistician by career. Fine. As we were talking about the data that the machine sends on the internet and that the local company can retrieve, I was complaining about the few pieces of info that I could see compared to what I could preview on the doctor's computer. He then told me about OSCAR. OSCAR is an open source data analysis program for those CPAP machines. OSCAR stands for Open Source CPAP Analysis Reporter.

Most of the CPAP machines have some SD or microSD card slot that can gather stats about your sleeping. When feeding those infos to OSCAR, you can get all kinds of reports on how well your nights were. The data format is open source and OSCAR can interpret and display those infos in graphs that can be much more useful than what the CPAP machine company can show you on a web page.

The software is available for Windows and Macs, of course, but also for Linux and Chromebook. I tried Linux and Windows versions. I also installed it on my Chromebook, just for the fun of it, 'cause it's available there too !!!

It can scan your system for this removable device and find the files. Too many graphs and too much information, way beyond what a non-medical person could properly interpret.

OSCAR will tell you so much more than what the myair.resmed.com web site can report.

Lemme know if you're interested.
