• Dr. Carl Stepnowsky, Research Health Scientist at VA San Diego Healthcare System
• Dr. Barry Fields, Senior Sleep Medicine fellow at University of Pennsylvania
• Ms. Ellen S. Fritch, Research Coordinator, Sleep Medicine, Philadelphia VA Medical Center

The primary objective of this meeting was to conduct a manual demonstration of what will be an automated process for the transfer of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine data from Philips and ResMed to Intellica Corporation for the Remote Veterans Apnea Management Portal (REVAMP) application. The other objective was to discuss the Sprint Process for the remaining weeks of application development to include expectations, roles and responsibilities.

Teleconference – 3:00 Eastern Time

Topics Covered:

REVAMP Application items accomplished to date

Agenda Items –

Demonstration

1. Prior to the demonstration, Mr. Craig Rebo showed a data flow diagram and discussed the flow of data (CSV files) between Philips and ResMed to Intellica Corporation.

2. Mr. Rebo showed that the Oracle database did not contain the patient’s CPAP data.

3. For each scenario, Mr. Rebo demonstrated data imported for a patient without a machine assigned to them and subsequently assigned, as well as a patient with a machine already assigned.

4. Mr. Rebo showed the newly added files in the Oracle database, as well as the CPAP machine serial numbers that were not previously listed.

5. CPAP machine data graphs were shown. Dr. Kuna asked if the graphs would condense as days/data is added allowing all to be seen in one view. Mr. Santana said that it will work in that manner.

6. Dr. Stepnowsky brought up the fact that the y-axis labels are not represented / labeled accurately. This is now an action item for Dr. Kuna and Mr. Santana.

7. Mr. Rebo demonstrated that errors are handled and that they are placed in an error file for analysis.

8. Dr. Stepnowsky asked about the intervals or timing the application will use to query Philips and ResMed data. Mr. Rebo stated that it can be set to the value that the VA determines. However, it was suggested that once or twice a day would suffice.

9. Dr. Kuna would like to conduct Alpha Testing with real, de-identified patients.

Sprints

1. Mr. Henderson asked that all parties develop and agree on a structure for the upcoming Sprints to ensure that what is expected is reasonable, deliverable and within the scope of the contract.

2. Release 2 was done on Tuesday, 8 January. Intellica is now responding to feedback for Release 3 which is due on 24 January.

Other

1. Training will continue next week.

2. The next meeting will be on 17 January.
