What is a myAir Score? 

MyAir calculates a new score each morning based on your previous night’s sleep data. Your myAir score is created using these factors: usage hours, mask on and off, mask seal and breathing pauses per hour (AHI -Apnoea Hypopnea Index).

Your myAir score is calculated out of 100, so how can you achieve the best score? Let’s break it down:

Usage hours – The longer you use your CPAP device, the more points you will receive out of a possible 70.

Mask on & off – The amount of times your mask is removed throughout the night. The less this happens, the higher points you gain out of a possible 10. If you have trouble keeping your mask on at night, you might want to consider a different CPAP mask type. You could try a nasal pillow or full-face CPAP mask. It can take some time to get used to your CPAP mask. 

Mask seal – This factor considers your mask’s seal and being comfortable with your mask. The more your mask leaks, the fewer points out of a possible 10. 

Events per hour – The remaining 10 points are factored in by your apnoea events per hour (AHI). This calculates your number of breathing pauses (apneas and hypopneas) per hour throughout the night.

MyAir Compatability 

Resmed created myAir for compatibility with Resmed CPAP machines only.

Here are some machines that feature the myAir app:

Once a CPAP machine is purchased and the details are loaded into the myAir system by your device supplier, you will receive an email to create a ResMed myAir account.

You will need to download the myAir app and log in to your account. Once you use your CPAP machine, it automatically wirelessly connects and uploads your data. You then can start tracking your sleep therapy progress.
