1. A system for remote internet server-based diagnostic monitoring with one or more positive airway pressure (PAP) device(s) for sleep disorder treatment system comprising:
one or more PAP device(s) with an enclosure further comprising:
a blower having an air output,
an airflow sensor internal to the PAP device adapted for measuring the respiratory airflow being delivered to a subject from and while using the PAP and outputting airflow sensor data;
a first processor adapted for receiving the airflow sensor data, and providing calculated symptom data of a severity of the subject's sleep disorder symptoms and/or an index of a subject's symptoms measured during use of the PAP device and data of usage of the PAP device;
an air output adapted for connecting a hose to a nasal cannula or a mask;
a sensor less mask or a sensor less nasal cannula and
a first radio frequency wireless transceiver; and
a first software stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium adapted to be downloaded and executed by a second processor on a base station or a cellular phone, the base station or the cellular phone each having a display for review by a patient being treated with the PAP device;
the first radio frequency wireless transceiver is adapted for receiving and transmitting the calculated symptom data directly to the base station or cellular phone, or indirectly through a remote internet site;
the first software for the base station, or cellular phone adapted for receiving and displaying a PAP therapy efficacy measure on the display of the base station or the cellular phone based on all or part of the calculated symptom data from the PAP device, and if received directly from the PAP device to retransmit the calculated symptom data received from the PAP device utilizing the base station or cellular phone to a remote internet site, if not received directly from the PAP device.
