Today we will be answering the top questions for setting up and troubleshooting ResMed Air :
How does myAir help me track my sleep?
Getting started with myAir is easy. To get started with myAir, download the app from the App Store® or Google Play™. After downloading the app and creating an account, you must connect your device. This can be accomplished by following the app instructions. Once it is connected, you can start using myAir to track your CPAP therapy and access other features, such as troubleshooting and reminders.
Once your device is connected to myAir, your therapy data will automatically be uploaded to ResMed’s secure cloud. You can then access your daily sleep score and therapy reports to track your progress and access helpful videos and therapy tips. The apnea-hypopnea index or AHI reports on the number of breathing events you have per hour. It is the best indicator of how well your sleep apnea is being managed and how well your treatment works.
Additionally, myAir also sends personalised messages through text or email when you achieve great results and troubleshooting tips to fix issues. With this helpful feedback, you can have the peace of mind that your therapy is progressing as intended and feel motivated to stick with it!
Your myAir score is an easy way to gauge how well your sleep apnea treatment is working. For example, it can confirm that your mask and machine are working correctly. The score is based on various factors, including – how long you used CPAP the previous night, how well your mask seals, and your breathing events per hour.
An individual's score will depend on their personal therapy settings and their device usage. Different users will have different areas of improvement, so it is tricky to quantify a specific number for a good score. A good score on myAir indicates that you consistently use your therapy and have fewer breathing events and issues such as apneas or mask leaks.
Your CPAP machine can begin sending data to myAir on the day you set up your account. By sending data to myAir, the app can provide you with real-time updates on your CPAP therapy, including information on mask fit, therapy hours, and AHI. This data can help you make informed decisions about your sleep therapy and achieve the best results.
For myAir updates, the app will prompt you when they are available. Downloading the latest version is as simple as accepting the request to install it. This will ensure that you always have the latest features.
With myAir, patients can take an active role in their own health more easily than ever before. Irrespective of whether you are a new or seasoned CPAP user, myAir can work for you. Get the most out of your CPAP and download it today.
