How to get raw watchpat data from .dat files?

[lisaistired]

I'm trying to get my raw watchpat data in csv format or similar.

I have the .dat files on my phone from the test but I don't know how to read them. 

Anyone know anything about this?

Thanks

Have you tried opening it in a text editor like Notepad?

Yes, it's not human readable unfortunately. 

Also tried installing zzzpat & going from there but couldn't figure out how to import the .dat as a sleep study.

That was my best generic answer. What's watchpat? It's possible that the file is proprietary and unreadable other than to whatever it is that's producing it.

Watchpat is an at home sleep study - https://www.itamar-medical.com/patients/...p-testing/

you wear the watch for a night at home & the data goes through a phone app. 


The company or your dr sends you graphs and summary data but I want to be able to zoom into the graphs & see the data in more detail.

The phone app leaves a .dat file, which I suspect contains the detailed info I want, but I don't know how to read it. 

They have an app aimed at clinicians called zzzpat which I  was able to get installed but I wasn't able to get it to import the .dat files.

The ".dat" file extension is usually a binary file. You need a hex editor to view the file. The best one I've used for a Windows O/S is Hex Editor Neo. Here is a link to their free version,
