Sleepyhead Software For Mac

I suffer from sleep apnea, and I use a PAP machine every night. I came across a free application called SleepyHead, which its web site describes it as, 'SleepyHead has been designed for reviewing and exploring data produced by CPAP and related machines, which are devices used in the treatment of sleep apnea. It is a desktop application created by the Australian software developer Mark Watkins.'

It works by taking out the SD card in the PAP machine and putting it in a card reader attached to the Mac. The web site indicates the version is '1.0.0-beta-2.2.' Is anyone familiar with the app? Absolute value excel for mac download.

Any other 'hose-heads' out there that use this? I see a lot of people posting in the apnea forums that have a lot of success with it, so I'm assuming it's not a dangerous type of malware. Yes, I asked you how you knew.

The reply of 'The last mac OS version they claim to support is 7 years old' would have sufficed. The sarcasm doesn't add to the answer. As for Google, yes, if everybody searched Google for hours for the proper answer, we wouldn't need these forums, would we? I hate when someone suggests Google in these forums. I've heard of Google. Heck, I even use it once or twice an eon.

I don't need people to remind me of it after they use sarcasm. But no worries, I'll just report your post. (Yeah, I used a bit of sarcasm myself, but not in the 'report your post' comment.). SleepyHead site says 10.7+. Doesn't the '+' mean that it didn't necessarily become obsolete? That the last version number they bother to mention is Lion, 10.7 (which is now ancient), the likelihood the software has been updated to work correctly in anything newer than 10.9 is very low. Putting a + after a definitive OS version can be pretty much translated as, 'I think it will work without modification for the near future.'

The OS has changed a LOT since 10.7. While simple apps tend to work without much attention from the developer, many at least needs tweaks in response to how the OS itself has changed. Without them, apps can act strangely, or just outright break. The official results of your CPAP SDHC card data should be read periodically by the respiratory care specialist at the medical facility that issued the device.

Their software is current, and specific to the devices they assign to patients, and may reveal events, or trends that signal recalibration of the machine, or data patterns that necessitate device replacement. You won't get this level of software currency, or professional review of the plotted data by free software that is now long out of date.

I picked up my new machine just yesterday, replacing the original machine I was given 11 years ago. That machine also had a card, a credit-card sized kind of thing with a chip. Would you believe in all those years, not a single soul asked for that card. I remember reading that it was possible for 'laypeople' like me to get the software to read the card, but - alas - guess what?

There was no Mac version. As for this SleepyHead app, I certainly can't compare it to the software that the specialists use.

But from what I read and saw in the SleepyHead descriptions and images, it looked pretty intensive. No one is going to call or email you and say, “it's time for us to read your CPAP data card again.” It is your responsibility to drive regularly scheduled data card review appointments with the pulmonary/respiratory unit to read, assess, and inform you that all is working as planned. Conversely, the data may signal that you may have an increase in unexplained mask leaks, apnea episodes, or even a dirty air filter — which are important for early detection. They should provide guidance on the periodicity for card data review. Apple Footer • This site contains user submitted content, comments and opinions and is for informational purposes only.
