Body Positions? Sleep Stages?
Hello, I wanted to see my body Positional Waveforms and Sleep Stage Waveforms in the Oscar reports, but even tho selected, they show, but don't show. It's weird. I am curious because my provider told me they can see my sleep positions in the reports on their side, so why can I not see them on my side within Oscar? As for the sleep stages, I actually would not expect to see that from just a CPAP device, but realize there may be something I don't know, so was curious about seeing that data, also. I appreciate any insight you may share.
RE: Body Positions? Sleep Stages?
OSCAR reports everything the CPAP machine records to the data files. The CPAP machine has no record of your body position, so it does not report it. During a sleep lab test the position is reported, and that may be what they are referring to.
It might be possible to infer sleep stages from analysis of hte breathing pattern, but that is far beyond OSCAR's capabilities.
