MONITAIR-OSARemote Monitoring for CPAP Adherence in Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder that can lead to serious health issues like high blood pressure, heart problems, and diabetes, affecting overall quality of life. The typical treatment involves using a CPAP machine, which helps keep the airway open during sleep. However, many people struggle to keep up with this treatment. This study is exploring whether using a remote patient monitoring platform called MonitAir can help improve how consistently people use their CPAP machines. MonitAir allows healthcare providers to track patients' CPAP use remotely and provide timely support, aiming to enhance patient commitment to treatment and improve health outcomes. Participants in this study are individuals recently diagnosed with OSA who are beginning CPAP therapy. They are divided into two groups: one receives regular coaching, and the other gets additional support through the MonitAir platform. This platform includes weekly reviews of CPAP data, automated messages, monthly telehealth check-ins, and extra doctor consultations if needed. The study measures how often participants use their CPAP machines over 30, 60, and 90 days, based on specific guidelines. It also looks at other factors like patient satisfaction, quality of sleep, and any issues with the CPAP masks. All participants are monitored for typical side effects, with no additional risks expected from using the MonitAir system.
