A data collection and processing system provides user and apparatus information from a CPAP apparatus (11) to a remote location. The system also allows the operating settings for the CPAP apparatus to be remotely programmed. Information is collected and stored in a digital memory in the CPAP apparatus. The CPAP apparatus is programmed to periodically transfer data to a central database server (15). The central database server can collect and store data from CPAP apparatus for a number of patients who undergo sleep therapy. A user can access the central database server over the internet (16) to obtain information. Each user is given access only to information for his or her patients. The user may provide data to the central database server for transmission to the CPAP apparatus during a subsequent connection that the CPAP apparatus makes to the central database server. |
