Quantify therapy disruptions?

Quantify therapy disruptions?
Is there a way in OSCAR to quantify how many disruptions I had during the night? I frequently have to take my mask off to scratch my nose and I would love to track the number of mask-off events in correlation to how I feel the next day.

RE: Quantify therapy disruptions?
You don't get a mask-off (and resulting mask-on) event by merely taking off your mask.

A mask-on/off event is generated by turning the machine off.

Assuming you have Smart Start On (Air 10) and Smart Stop On (Air 11), then you *may* get a mask off-on for removing your mask, provided it's sufficiently long enough to turn off therapy.

Mask on/offs have nothing to do with actually removing one's mask and everything to do with turning on and off therapy.

Mask on-off, is one of the worst named metrics ever.

About OSCAR quantifying and reporting disruptions. No.

The developers of OSCAR have taken great care to only quantify what the machine reports.

The closest OSCAR comes to what you ask is to report RDI which in most cases is essentially the same as AHI (AHI + RERAS)
