ResMed myAir: The Complete Guide
myAir turns the data your CPAP machine already records into a nightly score you can actually act on. Here's what it tracks, how to read a night report, which devices it supports — and where it falls short.
Everything myAir does, how to set it up and read your nightly data, which machines it supports, and what users say about it.
What Is myAir?
myAir is ResMed's digital health service for people using a ResMed CPAP machine. Launched in 2015, it collects the therapy data your device already records and presents it as a daily sleep score, along with tips and educational content. ResMed describes it as an online support programme designed to help patients stay engaged with therapy.
The service is free with a supported ResMed device and available both as a web dashboard and as a mobile app for iOS and Android.
What myAir Does
Four things, essentially:
Data Tracking
Records apneas and hypopneas per hour, mask seal and usage duration for every night of therapy, building a picture over weeks rather than single nights.
Daily Feedback
Turns each night into a score out of 100, so you can see immediately whether something changed — and what.
Education
Articles and videos on sleep apnea and CPAP therapy, aimed at the questions that come up in the first weeks of treatment.
Remote Monitoring
Your provider can review the same data through AirView, adjusting settings or spotting problems without an in-clinic visit.
How to Read Your Night Reports
Setting up takes a few minutes, and after that the process is automatic:
- Create an account — register on the ResMed website or through the myAir app.
- Connect your device — link your ResMed CPAP machine to the account. Supported devices sync wirelessly.
- Let it upload — your machine sends each night's data automatically. There is nothing to enter manually.
- Open the dashboard — the home screen shows your therapy summary and last night's sleep score.
- Tap a date — opens the detailed report for that night: events per hour, mask seal and usage hours.
- Read the tips — myAir suggests adjustments, most often around mask fit and consistency of use.
How the score is built: myAir weights usage hours most heavily (up to 70 points), then mask seal (up to 20), then events per hour and mask on/off events (up to 5 each). This is why a night with good AHI can still score poorly — a significant leak or removing the mask a few times costs you more points than the events themselves.
Main Features
Daily Sleep Scores
A single number out of 100 that reflects usage, mask seal and events — the fastest way to see whether last night was typical.
Detailed Night Reports
Per-night breakdowns you can scroll back through, making trends visible rather than isolated numbers.
Provider Access
The same data feeds your clinician's AirView dashboard, which is what makes remote pressure adjustments possible.
Personalised Tips
Coaching messages tied to what your data actually shows, rather than generic advice.
Mobile App
Available for iOS and Android, with notifications and reports you can export as a PDF.
Data Security
Health data handled under ResMed's privacy framework and applicable data protection regulations.
Other Ways to Use myAir
Beyond the nightly score, the data has practical uses:
- Mask decisions: persistent seal problems in your reports are useful evidence when discussing a different mask size or style.
- Troubleshooting: the app includes guides for common problems, which often resolve issues without a call.
- Therapy adjustment: your clinician can use the trend data to fine-tune pressure settings rather than guessing from how you feel.
- Compliance reporting: where insurers require proof of usage, reports can be exported and shared.
- Goal setting: the score gives you something concrete to work towards in the first weeks, when adherence matters most.

myAir is available on Google Play and the Apple App Store. You'll need the serial number from the underside of your machine to complete setup.
What Users Say
myAir generally reviews well, though the criticisms are consistent enough to be worth knowing about before you rely on it.
What Works
- Ease of use: the interface is straightforward and accessible to users who aren't comfortable with apps generally.
- Motivation: the daily score genuinely helps adherence in the early weeks, which is when most people abandon therapy.
- Transparency: having your own data, rather than waiting for a clinic appointment, is valued by most users.
- Education: the built-in content answers the questions that otherwise become support calls.
Common Complaints
- Limited depth: myAir shows summary data only. Users wanting waveform-level detail turn to third-party software such as OSCAR.
- Compatibility: occasional problems with specific phone models or OS versions.
- Connectivity: sync failures are reported periodically, usually resolving on their own but disruptive when tracking closely.
- Privacy questions: as with any health app, some users want clearer detail on how data is stored and shared.

The Verdict
myAir does one thing well: it makes therapy data visible without requiring you to interpret it. The daily score is deliberately simple, and that simplicity is the point — it's aimed at helping people stay on therapy through the difficult first weeks, not at giving you clinical-grade analysis.
If you want deeper detail than myAir provides, third-party software like OSCAR reads the same SD card data at a far more granular level. But for most users, myAir plus regular review with your provider covers what's actually needed.
Please note: myAir is a patient support tool, not a diagnostic device. Sleep scores and nightly reports are useful for tracking adherence and spotting changes, but they don't replace clinical assessment. Discuss persistent high AHI, leak problems or discomfort with your sleep specialist, and never change pressure settings yourself.
