We all need to sleep and having sleep apnea sucks. Sleep apnea diagnoses have become more prevalent among our society. The continuous positive airway pressure or CPAP equipment, like the Phillips Dreamstation, helps individuals with sleep apnea by providing a regulated air stream into their respiratory system. Problem is sometimes these medical devices have manufacturer recalls

This talk focuses on the Philips Dreamstation device that is part of an on-going recall. This talk will cover a simple tear down and analysis of the device components and will also cover the CPAP firmware scene where hackers homebrew and modify firmware to help them and their friends get sleep across CPAP devices.
