In the past, the CPAP machines my wife and I used needed to be programmed in various ways, and they had separate data cards as described. The ones we got a couple of months ago are completely dynamic, they aren't pre-configured in any meaningful way.
Also, they send their collected data up to 'the cloud' over a cellular network, where we can view the data, in some detail, with our web browser, as authenticated by a code printed on each machine.
Seems like a good way to go.
- dreamcompiler 8y agoI keep my CPAP in airplane mode because I have no idea how they protect the data or the protocols used to adjust the settings remotely. Based on what I know about every other IoT device, the manufacturer almost certainly knows nothing about computer security. This annoys my doctor because it means she has to read the SD card rather than pulling my data out of the air, but I explained to her that I knew as much about computer security as she did about respiratory medicine, and if she knew what I knew she'd be horrified.
- spelunker 8y agoAgreed. I have a ResMed that uploads the data daily over the cell network and then can view the data in a smartphone app. Like the article mentions it's not terribly detailed but it does show me data like my AHI, and how it has dropped dramatically since using the device. Good enough for me.
