Logging in to myAir
myAir is ResMed's patient app. Web access is at myair.resmed.eu for Europe. The myAir mobile app also exists on iOS and Android, using the same account.
You need your device serial number to create the account. It is on the label underneath the machine. If you cannot log in, first check that your device is connected to the network and has not been left in airplane mode.
ResMed myAir - How to Read and Understand Your CPAP Results
myAir is ResMed's official app for tracking your CPAP therapy. It connects to your AirSense 11 via Bluetooth and displays a score from 0 to 100 each morning based on the previous night's data. Understanding that score and the data behind it lets you quickly see what is working well - and what can be improved.
Controlling your device from myAir
myAir does more than display your data. On AirSense 11 devices, the app changes the machine's comfort settings, and starts or stops therapy. On the device, the path is the Home screen, then MY OPTIONS.
- Ramp time and start pressure
- Expiratory relief EPR, on or off and level 1 to 3
- SmartStart and SmartStop
- Climate Control, humidity, tube temperature
- AutoSet Response, Standard or Soft
The full detail, with possible values, is on our page CPAP settings: what you can change yourself. An active Bluetooth connection is required.
Connecting your AirSense 11 to myAir
Contrary to a common belief, the AirSense 11 does not connect to your home Wi-Fi. The ResMed manual is explicit: the device has built-in cellular communication that transmits your data on its own, with no network setup on your side.
For the myAir app, the link is over Bluetooth:
- Make sure the device is correctly set up and plugged into mains power.
- Install the myAir app on your phone, launch it and tap Continue.
- Follow the on screen prompts to complete the Bluetooth connection.
- Tap Save. The Bluetooth symbol appears in the device status bar.
The full procedure, along with the other device settings, is on our page about the SD card and therapy data.
The myAir Score - How Is It Calculated?
The myAir score runs from 0 to 100. ResMed publishes its exact weighting, and it often surprises people.
| Criterion | Points out of 100 | How they are earned |
|---|---|---|
| Usage hours | 70 | 10 points per hour, up to 7 hours |
| Mask seal | 20 | 20 for minimal leak, 10 to 15 for moderate leak |
| Events per hour (AHI) | 5 | 4 to 5 points if events are minimal |
| Mask on and off | 5 | 5 points if you remove it once or twice |
myAir is designed as an adherence encouragement tool, not a clinical assessment. A high score means you wear your mask well. It does not mean your therapy is working. For that, look at your residual AHI, and for night-by-night detail, use OSCAR.
Understanding Each myAir Indicator
Usage Hours
This is the time during which you actually wore the mask and breathed with CPAP pressure. The recommended target is at least 4 hours per night. Below 4 hours, most studies show insufficient therapeutic effectiveness.
myAir also tells you whether you woke up and removed the mask during the night.
Residual AHI (Apnea-Hypopnea Index)
The residual AHI is the number of apneas and hypopneas per hour of sleep, despite the therapy. A good myAir score implies a low residual AHI:
- < 5 events/hour: excellent apnea control
- 5 to 10: acceptable but improvable
- > 10: poorly controlled apneas - consult your doctor
A high residual AHI despite correct usage can point to an unsuitable pressure or to central apneas that do not respond to standard CPAP.
Mask Leaks
myAir rates your leaks on three levels: Excellent, Good, Needs Attention. That rating is based on the unintentional leak measured by the device through the night.
Leaks are the most common cause of a poor myAir score. If your leaks are elevated:
- Check the state of your cushion (worn? clean?)
- Readjust the headgear
- Avoid moisturisers before putting the mask on
- If leaks persist, replace the cushion (available in our replacement parts)
Mask on and off
myAir detects how many times you took the mask off during the night. If that number is high, it can point to:
- Discomfort (badly fitted mask, pressure too high at start-up)
- Claustrophobia
- Frequent need to urinate interrupting sleep
What to Do if Your myAir Score Is Below 70
A score below 70 almost always means one thing: you slept fewer than four hours with the device, since usage alone is worth 70 points. It is not a verdict on how effective your therapy is. Here is a four-step diagnosis:
Step 1: Check leaks
This is the most common cause of a poor score. Look at the leak indicator in the app. If it reads "Needs Attention", start by cleaning and inspecting your cushion.
Step 2: Check your usage hours
Are you wearing the mask at least 4 hours? If you take it off at night, try the pressure ramp (gradual start) or a lower EPR setting to improve comfort.
Step 3: Check the residual AHI
If the AHI is high despite a good mask and good usage, your pressure may be unsuitable. Discuss it with your doctor.
Step 4: Use OSCAR to dig deeper
For a finer analysis, use the OSCAR software (see our OSCAR guide) to view the data night by night and pin down the exact causes.
myAir and remote follow-up by your doctor
With your consent, your doctor or provider can access your myAir data through the ResMed AirView portal. That capability allows:
- Remote follow-up of your therapy
- Alerts when the score stays low
- Remote adjustment of the settings in some cases
myAir compatibility
myAir works with the following ResMed devices:
- AirSense 11 AutoSet
- AirSense 11 Elite
- AirSense 10 AutoSet (with Wi-Fi)
- AirSense 10 AutoSet For Her (with Wi-Fi)
- AirCurve 10 series (with Wi-Fi)
Frequently asked questions about the ResMed myAir app
The myAir score is a composite indicator out of 100 calculated from four criteria: usage hours, residual AHI, mask leaks and mask removals. Be careful not to read it as a clinical assessment: usage hours alone are worth 70 points, residual AHI only 5. A high score says you wear your mask well, not that your treatment is effective. Below 70, it is almost always usage hours that are missing. The score has no clinical value in itself: it is an educational tool to track day-to-day progress.
Follow a four-step diagnostic. Check leaks first: this is the most common cause of a low score. Then verify your usage hours and try the pressure ramp if you remove the mask during the night. Monitor residual AHI: if it stays above 5 despite proper use, discuss with your doctor. For deeper analysis, use the OSCAR software which displays respiratory events night by night.
No. myAir provides a daily consumer-friendly summary: overall score, hours, average AHI, leaks. OSCAR is an advanced analysis software that reads your CPAP SD card and displays detailed second-by-second curves of pressure, flow, leaks and respiratory events. myAir is suitable for routine monitoring, OSCAR is useful when you need to understand why your score is dropping or why therapy remains uncomfortable.
Leaks weigh heavily in the myAir score because they compromise CPAP effectiveness. When air escapes around the mask, the actual pressure in the airway drops and apnoeas may reappear. Common causes: worn cushion, badly adjusted headgear, moisturiser on the skin, or changes in morphology. Inspect your cushion first and replace it via our replacement parts.
Four hours is the minimum efficacy threshold used in most clinical studies and by insurance conventions such as INAMI. For optimal benefit on fatigue, attention and cardiovascular health, the real target is to wear the CPAP for your entire sleep duration. If you sleep 7 hours, aim for 7 hours with the mask. The higher the adherence, the better the long-term outcomes.
Only with your explicit consent. Your doctor or provider can access your data via the professional ResMed AirView portal, but this requires prior authorisation. If you are under the INAMI convention, your sleep centre typically uses this system to monitor adherence. If you bought your device at VivaRespire, sharing is entirely optional: your data stays in your myAir account unless you decide to share it.
No. Your AirSense 11 works perfectly without the app. CPAP therapy runs locally on each use. myAir is an optional monitoring tool. Without the app, you still have access to AHI and hours on the device screen. The built-in SD card records all detailed data, readable through OSCAR. myAir is useful for monitoring convenience, not for treatment itself.
