Philips Respironics Has launched a Mobile Application to download and view usage data. Philips CPAP Machines บนโทรศัพท์มือถือและ Tablet ของท่านได้โดยตรง โดยเปิดให้ผู้ใช้งานในเมืองไทยสามารถดาวน์โหลดได้จาก App Store และ Play Store ได้แล้ว แต่มีข้อแม้ว่าจะต้องเป็นเครื่องที่ซื้อผ่าน ตัวแทนจำหน่าย CPAP Philips ที่ถูกต้องในประเทศไทยเท่านั้น (ซึ่ง NK Sleepcare ก็เป็นตัวแทนที่ถูกต้องครับ) ถ้าท่านซื้อเครื่องจากต่างประเทศจะใช้งานไม่ได้นะครับ และที่สำคัญ App นี้ใช้งานฟรีครับ
Today I will explain the steps and how to use this application. For the following example, I use an iPhone 7 Plus.
You can choose to watch as a video clip, which will be divided into 2 Episodes as below. Or choose to read as text with pictures, which will be next to the video clip.
Installing the DreamMapper Application
Click on the image below to access the App Store (iOS) or Goole Play Store (Android), depending on your mobile operating system. and then install it on your phone
When the installation is complete to enable access to the app
On the first page, the system will ask us to select the country, then select Thailand. If a window pops up asking if the system wants to send you notifications, press Allow so that the app so that a notification message can pop up on our mobile screen
When choosing a country It will come to the screen for us to Login, which we do not have an account yet, then click on the Create New Account button.
Then enter your information and press the Scan button to enter the Serial Number of your Philips DreamStation.
The system will show a description message as shown, let us press the Launch button.
When a message says DreamMapper wants to access the camera, press OK.
Then scan the barcode at the bottom of the machine (*** Caution! If using a humidifier, pour out the water first) or you can type it in by hand. But I suggest to use a better scan method in case we might make a typo. Once done, press the button to accept both conditions and press the Register button below.
The system will allow us to choose a Password with the condition that Do not use the email address that has been entered previously, do not use the word password, and must contain at least 8 English letters, symbols, capital letters and numbers. If we follow any condition A green check mark will be displayed. Let us make all of them green. It shows that our password has passed.
Then confirm the code by re-entering it. The bottom part will have a message for us to choose to accept 5 conditions. The first two are accepting the system to send emails to inform us. (This one we can change later) Section 3-5 will allow the system to use our data to develop apps. to be even better All of which is up to you whether you choose to consent or not. Personally, I choose to accept all. (Press to make it green)
Next, we will choose the type of mask used. and select the desired model Mine is used as a mask. Wisp Nasal Mask Yes, if the mask you use is not available in the list. Press to select Mask Not Listed, then press Set my mask.
Pairing (Bluetooth Paring) your mobile phone with your DreamStation CPAP (one time)
Enable Bluetooth on your DreamStation by going to the My Setup menu and scrolling to the Bluetooth menu and turning it On.
Then enable Bluetooth on your mobile phone. This one, I recommend you to keep it open all the time. So you don't have to wait to open it every time to download.
Then come back to the mobile app screen, there will be a message asking if we want to download data with Bluetooth or not, answer Yes.
Next, we will come to the Bluetooth Setup screen, which will have a message explaining how to pair and prompt us with a paring code, slide the OK button below until it turns green, then press the Begin using button.
Bring the 6-digit code that appears on the screen of the CPAP machine, enter it in the app and press the word “Pair”.
The app will begin downloading data from your CPAP machine. **On first use, the app will download data from the last 1 day only.
How to use regularly
Every morning after you stop using your CPAP, open the DreamMapper app. The app will automatically start downloading data from your CPAP. When you download data every day You will have accumulated data displayed in bar graphs. to see the direction or the overall use of the machine
**Note: Your data will only be available from the day you install the DreamMapper app onwards. You cannot download historical data prior to the date you installed the app.
The picture is an example of a screenshot after I downloaded the data. I only tried downloading for 2 days because I just started using the app. This was a few days ago.
In the figure, you can see important information as follows.
- I use it for two nights, Thursday, Nov. 1, and Fri., Nov. 2, which has been used for 6.45 hours and 5.15 hours, respectively, which we should use CPAP for more than 4 hours. . per night, I pass this item.
- AHI (Sleep Apnea Index) both nights were 3.7 and 2.9 breaths/hr, which is less than 5 breaths/hr, considered normal. I passed this point => Read the article on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
- On the first night (Thursday, Nov. 1), I found that although my AHI was normal (3.7 beats/hr), when looking into the details, there were 21 Clear Airway Apneas (CA). hours, but Obstructive Apneas (OA) is only 2 times/hour. Therefore, try to consult with our sleep technician. I set the pressure too high! is to set Min. Pressure = 10 cmH2O / Max. Pressure = 15 cmH2o, which the tech guys assumed that I might get too high pressure. Which in some people can cause CA conditions, so I try to adjust the pressure down and try to use it the next night (Friday, November 2).
- morning wake up Just open the DreamMapper app and the app will start downloading automatically. (I'm someone who has Bluetooth turned on on my phone.) As a result, my CA dropped to 13 (was 21), and overall AHI dropped (from 3.7 to 2.9). will come the right way But still have to look at each other for a long time, I will update it from time to time.
Done for trying to use the DreamMapper application for downloading data from the device. Philips DreamStation Series Is it easy? If we can install and set up already, the next day, just open the app. come up only and wait for the app It automatically fetches information from CPAP. Do this every day and you will be able to know the progress of your treatment. And most importantly, if we encounter anything unusual or have any doubts, they will know immediately No need to wait for the day to see the doctor.
