CPAPdata vs SleepHQ
paid web platform with a community
SleepHQ is the most polished product in this space. It syncs your ResMed data automatically over WiFi so you never touch the SD card, it has an active community where people share nights with each other and with clinicians, and the interface is good. It is also a paid subscription and it is hosted in the United States. Those are the trade-offs.
Affiliate link: if you subscribe through it, CPAPdata may receive a commission, at no extra cost to you. It does not change this comparison.
Which one should you use
Pick SleepHQ if
You want your data to arrive by itself without ever handling the SD card, and you want a community to compare nights with. The automatic upload genuinely changes the habit: data you do not have to fetch is data you actually look at. If the subscription is not an obstacle for you, it is a good product.
Pick CPAPdata if
You want your data explained in French, Dutch or German, where your health data physically sits matters to you, or you want figures checked value by value against OSCAR and your machine's own summary. Also if you would rather have your card read in your browser, with only the nights you choose to save leaving your computer.

Automatic upload is a real advantage
We are not going to pretend otherwise. Pulling the SD card out, finding a reader and dropping the folder in is friction, and friction is why most people check their data twice and then never again. SleepHQ removed that step and it is the single best thing about the product.
It is on our roadmap, and it is honest to say we do not have it today. In the meantime the SD card route has one compensating property: the card is read in your browser, and only the nights you choose to save leave your computer.
Where the data lives is not a detail
CPAP data is health data. Under the GDPR that puts it in a special category, and for a European patient the practical question is which jurisdiction can compel access to it. A US-hosted service answers to US law regardless of who the user is.
We answer it in two ways. Your card is read in your browser, so the raw files never leave your computer, and the nights you choose to save are stored in your account, in the European Union. For a patient in Belgium, France, the Netherlands or Germany that is a straightforward answer rather than a policy page to interpret.
Being built by a clinician changes what gets built
The interpretation layer here comes from twenty years of reading these files in sleep medicine, not from a specification written by someone who has never fitted a mask. That shows up in small choices: which numbers are surfaced first, which ones are explicitly labelled unreliable, and where we refuse to give advice because it belongs to your prescriber.
It also sets the boundary. This is a self-monitoring and consultation-aid tool. It does not tell you to change your pressure, and it never will.
Common questions
How much does CPAPdata cost?
+
Pricing is not set yet. Access is through an account verified at sign-up, and accounts are not open yet: leave your email for early access, and pricing will be announced at launch.
Can I import my SleepHQ data?
+
Not today. Both tools read the same source, which is your machine's SD card, so the practical route is to point CPAPdata at the card directly.
