The CPAP is extremely useful if used correctly (rather than just enforce compliance). It allows a clinician to monitor remotely for all sorts of issues and follow up with the patient.

There are a whole bunch of issues that can occur that a patient may not be aware of because they are asleep. Generally I wish we'd all use some kind of sleep monitoring system or at least we started routine screening for sleep disorders

My CPAP just has an SD card which I can remove and bring to the therapist.

The benefit of this is that I don't have to rely only on the therapist, I can also read the card myself with tools like OSCAR: https://www.sleepfiles.com/OSCAR/

I would really hate having one that reports via 4G to the therapist only.

Most of the cellular connection CPAP machines also have a SD card slot and will put the full logs on it if you put a card in.
