Apple Health get data from CPAP or MyAir app

You should be providing input to the MyAir product team as it is their responsibilty to create two-way data flow to Apple's Health app. There also needs to be hooks in the Apple Health app that the MyAir developers can use.

The MyAir app does not share data with Apple Health. They do take data from Apple Health to share with you on their app. Given how long this discussion has been happening, I think the only way to get them to share data with Apple Health is to give them a 1 star review and explain that they should share YOUR CPAP data with Apple Health, so Apple and other apps can give you feedback on your health and sleep.

If we get enough people to give them a 1 start review and explain why, they might change something. :-)

I just wrote ResMed. You can also write them at the following link.

As you fill out your information on the page, it will look like this.

I would recommend everyone possible write them, so that we can get some traction on this. I can't believe RedMed hasn't solved a problem that users have had since 2017! You can see the beginning of what I submitted to them. I'm asking them to share the info back with Apple Health.

You can also use these links to review the the MyAir app and give them the same advice. They might listed to public reviews more than something that has been submitted to their central support team.

Hope we can get all the people on this thread to submit something to ResMed support and also write a review with the suggestions, so that RedMed starts working on this. It's super easy for them to implement. They just need a push to do it.

The recent update to the MyAir iPhone app says it is now able to share data to Apple Health and there is a toggle in the MyAir app where I find the sharing to Apple Health can be turned on or off. With that said I can't find any CPAP data in the Apple Health app.

Yes, as others have pointed out, the only sharing of information between MyAir and Apple Health that I can see, as of today, is the opposite of what would be most useful: MyAir receives information (steps, weight & active energy) from the Health app. I guess this is OK but I’d rather have MyAir send usage statistics to Health so it’s all in one place.

Is this (likely) a limitation of the Health app?

One issue I guess I could see from the Apple Health side is that it would be practical to present information in a unified way regardless of the CPAP manufacturer. So the MyAir “scores” would not necessarily be the same. But to me that’s fine, just send the raw data like usage time, mask on/off count, and events per hour over to Health.

I was excited to get a message saying MyAir was going to be 'integrating' with Apple Health. Then I discovered they were just receiving info on my step count. Are you kidding? That is not the least bit helpful when it comes to evaluating my sleeping or breathing issues.

So, as someone suggested above, I just now left a one-star review on the MyAir App in the Apple App Store. I specifically said I was not happy with the fact that they STILL don't integrate with Apple Health on such an important issue. I encourage everyone else to make your feelings know on the app store as well. I don't know whether this is an Apple problem or a ResMed/MyAir problem, but I started with MyAir.

Send your feedback to Apple, as they may or may not see it here: Product Feedback - Apple

Also let the third-party app developers know: Contact a third-party vendor - Apple Support

You might get lucky around here, but best check with the documentation for and then the people that are supporting the particular app.

I wrote them and this is how they responded. It looks like they have no interest in sharing data with third parties which to them includes Apple or Google. But they are happy to take all my health data from Apple and display it in their app. For what reason are they taking that data. It provides little value to me or them.

Some recent CPAP devices send nightly data via their own built-in cellular radio to a monitoring facility when the CPAP is stopped in the morning. The VA offers this service to those equipped with a ResMed AirSense 10 CPAP device. No user bill for the cellular service.

I found this too. I was then totally perplexed to discover that the ONLY data that MyAir shares with Apple Health app is my Steps data. I mean, WTH does MyAir need to see my steps data for, and it certainly can’t then provide any kind of update on my Steps back to Apple Health.

The cynic in me wonders whether Resmed have done this just to be able to claim “Apple Health Integration”.

As brucefromsherman oaks mentioned, there is an option in the MyAir app to share data from Apple Health. As of right now it looks like the sharing of data only goes in one direction- from Apple Health to MyAir, and even so it doesn’t look like enabling this sharing provides any more information/functionality to the user in the MyAir app. I’m assuming what we’re really allowing is the MyAir app to send additional health information to our provider or whoever is monitoring our cpap therapy results. I agree that better integration between MyAir and Apple health would be really useful for many people

The only thing I can see that the myair app and apple health link does is to add the steps taken from the apple health app to the myAir app. Not sure why as that seems redundant. The whole point of the apple health app is to have it all in one place.

The integration still doesn’t really work. MyAir gets data from Apple Health, but it does not share data with Apple Health. I would like that data shared, so it can be used by other apps for analysis of my sleep and health.

I completely agree with the your viewpoint. I hope Apple can actively collaborate with third-party companies to integrate data into the Health app.
