A data management system for use with at least a first breathing assistance apparatus and a second breathing assistance apparatus, the first breathing assistance apparatus and second breathing assistance apparatuses for use by a patient to deliver a CPAP, PAP or flow therapy, the data management system comprising:
a controller which, in operation:
receives, from a first device provided by either the first breathing assistance apparatus associated with a first data communication module or a first proxy device of the first breathing assistance apparatus associated with the first data communication module, a first data set comprising one or more data entries related to the use of the first breathing assistance apparatus by the patient, each of the one or more data entries being associated with a time and/or a position in a sequence of entries;
receives, from a second device provided by either the second breathing assistance apparatus associated with a second data communication module or a second proxy device of the second breathing assistance apparatus associated with the second data communication module, a second data set comprising one or more data entries related to the use of the second breathing assistance apparatus by the patient, each of the one or more data entries being associated with a time and/or a position in a sequence of entries;
integrates the first data set with the second data set to create a third data set, such that the third data set comprises data entries of the first data set and the second data set arranged in a temporal sequence with respect to one another, wherein data entries of the third data set comprises an indicator related to adherence of the patient to a therapy regime and wherein the controller, in operation, further:
generates a fault signal if a data entry of the first data set is associated with a time that is same as a time associated with a data entry of the second data set;
generates a report comprising information related to the third data set, the report comprising an error message if the fault signal has been generated, the report further comprising the indicator related to the adherence of the patient to the therapy regime;
presents to a recipient at least one of the fault signal or the report;
sends the third data set to both the first device and the second device;
overwrites, the first data set and the second data set with the third data set; and
wherein at least a data integration function of the controller are provided by at least one of the first device, the second device, or an intermediary device; and
wherein the first data communication module and the second data communication module are integrated with the first device and the second device respectively.
