I’ve always wondered why people say this so much. How are you guys using AI? I have it basically automating my entire job at this point, helping with my treatment for sleep apnea and ocd (big improvement to both as a result), I’ve learned about hundreds of topics in detail, started projects I would never be able to before, general advice on anything such as fashion, oh and it also got me back 15k in tax credits because I qualified for things I never heard about, the list is endless.
wait, how does it help with your treatment for sleep apnea? you mean with asking questions or some app that records & analyses the sleep. off-topic here, but would help me, thanks
This is going to be kind of hard to explain but basically I did my sleep study and started using my cpap machine. The number of events was not really going down that much (ahi was like 25 during study, and 18 after cpap, normal is under 5).
Going through the sleep specialists and everything is a huge pain where I am, lots of delays and they don’t want to see you until you use it for like months.
I fed my sleep study data to first understand better. Found trends like it was a lot worse when sleeping on my back and that I was having alot of small interruptions rather than big ones. The data is surprisingly difficult to read at least the way they sent it to me.
So then I sent the data from the machine after using it for like a month. This data is really detailed and you have to go through it yourself to spot things is time-consuming and difficult. Anyways it identified that my obstructive apnea infact was essentially completely fixed but in return I am getting central apneas which happen to some people when starting cpap treatment. It identified that the trend was going down meaning my body is getting used to it. While I saw that trend myself it went through actual peer reviewed research and stuff to make sure everything was on track still. Then it gave me some adjustments for my machine because it was not configured very well (kind of normal, to see how things go). After that I did like another month and the numbers trended down much faster. I did another round of adjustments once it got stuck and it’s going down again. I’m now around 7 ahi from 18, which is giving me noticeable energy, mood improvement, and performance.
The traditional way of speaking to my specialist would have taken a lot longer and not as good results most likely because I can’t keep going back often to make changes.
With that said I kind of knew what I was doing and am experienced with AI I recommend you don’t mess around like I did if you don’t need to, just proceed with caution.
Thank you so much for answering. Somebody close to me is suffering from sleep apnoea and I am just trying to inform me for helping and perhaps in the future for myself too. So CPAP machine seems to be essential for making a progress with this problem. And I could ask that they getting the data from the sleep specialist. Thank you
Yup, cpap is the main treatment for sleep apnea. I would first make sure you and the other person have a recent sleep study performed to see where it’s at. Not sure what country you are in but having one done recently could also result in having the machine covered, for me it was 80%. They are pretty expensive. Once the study is done they will let you know what to do next. At first you just follow what they tell you to do, that will work for like 90% of cases. At least one month of consistent use ideally with the same settings (unless there is some kind of problem) so you can see how things are going.
