Viewing therapy data

The Dashboard provides a snapshot of the patient's therapy data including myAir score, usage hours,
mask seal, events per hour, mask on/off events and air pressure.
The myAir score provides patients a total score for the previous night of sleep by analysing four key
categories:
• usage hours
• mask seal
events per hour
•
mask on/off events.
•
The usage hours score is based on the number of hours of therapy the patient received during the
previous night. The mask seal score helps patients to assess how well their mask seals and to
identify possible air leaks. Patients are advised to refit their mask if the mask seal score is low. The
events per hour score is derived from the average of the events (apnoeas and hypopnoeas) per hour
experienced during the patient's therapy period. The mask on/off events score is based on the
number of times the patient removed their mask during the previous night of therapy. The fewer
times the mask is removed during the night, the higher the score.
The Dashboard also displays a pressure reading to provide the patient an indication of how much air
pressure was required to effectively treat the patient's sleep disordered breathing during the
previous night of therapy. The value of the pressure reading is equal to or less than the highest
