Improving Obstructive Sleep Apnea Management Via Wireless Telemonitoring
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Self-management and Telemonitored care for Sleep Apnea Syndromes. Completed, enrolled 280 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a major chronic condition affecting the quality of life of up to one-fifth of all Veterans. Because of disappointingly low adherence to the gold-standard treatment (continuous positive airway pressure therapy - CPAP), the Institute of Medicine has stated that new adherence strategies are needed that improve the quality of care, reduce social and economic costs, and help OSA patients live happier, healthier, and more productive lives through improved clinical management. The combination of a self-management approach along with emerging wireless technologies has strong potential to increase treatment adherence and improve outcomes.
