I was recently "awarded" a ResMed AirSense 10 Autoset, which I already am in love with for the great help I'm getting from it: no more apnea and I also stopped snoring. Essentially it's the best gift my soon to be wife could receive:)
My situation is a bit different as thanks to public healthcare it's assigned to me without any insurance involved (I paid it with my taxes decades ago), which however doesn't mean I'd want my data to be read by others except my doctor.
I therefore send my data over email to the doctor, and don't use any modem connection, app or proprietary software to read its data.
The tendency to spy on patients is scary, although we should be prepared: spying on people using devices that connect to the Internet happens regularly in many other contexts, especially when money is involved, so why should we think medical devices would be any different? To me, the rule is: if it is closed and goes online, then it will spy on me.
For those interested, data can be read and analyzed easily using the (FOSS) software OSCAR: https://www.sleepfiles.com/OSCAR/ https://www.sleepfiles.com/OSCAR/
I also took a look at EDFBrowser (also FOSS) which unfortunately doesn't support the type of EDF format used by that machine as it often complains about 8 or more bit chars in place of 7 bit ones, or something like that. https://www.teuniz.net/edfbrowser/ https://www.teuniz.net/edfbrowser/
