"Hi
The SleepCube was a private purchase, as way back then my local sleep clinic assessed patients by filming them overnight, whilst wearing an oximeter, and only issued CPAP machines without humidifiers. There was no remote monitoring and…"
"Yeah I was wondering about email address. I thought probably if they wanted me to mail them they would have given out an address. I can imagine heart data is considered more acute than sleep data, so it would make more sense to have that…"
"Hi.
I didn't use PatientsKnowBest (ironic name), but I have an email address for my heart department for sending in ECGs. I was just saying that they may be able to review a PDF when then cannot review a data file from your O2 ring.
I am…"
"Hi Jonathan, did you do that through PatientKnowsBest?"
"On an unrelated topic, I've been able to send ECGs by PDF to my heart clinic.

Wellu O2 Ring - is it accurate enough for the medics?
Moving some furniture my long lost O2 ring continuous oxygen saturation monitor turned up. So I've been wearing it and it tells me I have loads of saturation drops during the night even though my Airsense 10 says I have very few apneas.So I get two…See More
"Hi,
Just thought I'd give an update. So, I had my appointment with the NHS sleep clinic which was much quicker than I anticipated and I've now had the overnight sleep study. My AHI is now 6, down from over 30, so I'm…"
"Hi Sally from what I read the airsense doesn't suffer the same foam degredation issues as the infamous Phillips machine.I can conceive it's possible that microplastics may be shed from the flexible main tube.What worries me more about the…"
"Hi
My sleep clinic discharged me, saying they were happy I was self-managing. Roll on a decade and the cardiologists taking care of me were very unimpressed and I was re-enrolled. I expect remote monitoring with current generation Resmed…"
"Hi Jonathan,
Thanks again for the info. My cpap *should* be monitored by the NHS though I haven’t had any contact from them since pre-covid. I checked out the link you gave to access extra data and I think that’s going to be…"
"Hi
I have the ResMed Airsense 10 Autoset (APAP). It's monitored remotely by my NHS sleep clinic and I believe they can make changes to the settings. I don't know whether they are notified if I make changes, nor whether they…"
"Hi Jonathan,
Thanks for the reply. I'd say that I'm fairly technical. I have the ResMed Airsense 10 Elite machine. I've discovered that I can upload data wirelessly from my machine and having lowered the pressure by…"
"Hi
You don't say how technical you are, or what sort of machine you use. However https://www.sleephq.com/ has software which allows you to upload data from compatible machines, and analyse your sleep "score", including a…"
