Monitoring sleep apnea treatment

ResMed devices with wireless connectivity transmit patients’ device and therapy statistics to AirView, just one hour after the therapy session has ended.1 This allows you to monitor and, where required, update your patients’ device settings quickly and remotely. If a patient has no wireless module or you require detailed data reports, you can download data from the SD card.

AirView key benefits

Essential to these solutions is AirView, ResMed’s cloud-based patient management system that allows you to remotely monitor your patients’ therapy data, and customise settings to meet their individual needs.

Remote monitoring with AirView has allowed medical equipment providers to reduce unnecessary patient visits and spend time on the phone with those who truly need it.2  And our patient engagement platform, myAir, is helping patients achieve initial compliance and stay on therapy long term.3

Save time

With AirView’s ‘remote assist’, you’ll always have a snapshot of patients’ therapy data on hand, helping to reduce lengthy phone calls during troubleshooting, and unscheduled visits.

Ensure patient compliance

By addressing problems early, you can reduce patient drop-outs and accelerate adherence to therapy from as early as the trial period.4-6

Increase quality of care

With each patient’s therapy progress easily accessible, you can focus on patients who need it most.

“By using AirView, the care team was able to quickly identify those patients who were non-compliant or experiencing problems.”
