Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disordered breathing condition effecting around 2-4% of the middle aged population and is characterized by periodic collapse of the upper airway during sleep. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is the primary treatment for patients with OSA. Despite the effectiveness of CPAP in abolishing upper airway obstruction, acceptance of and adherence with therapy has been sub-optimal.

Over the past decade, considerable research has focused on determining the factors responsible for poor CPAP adherence. Two key areas have been identified: patient-reported symptoms, including mask discomfort, pressure intolerance and nasal symptoms and the importance of patient education and support. In addition we know that the patient experience during the crucial first days and weeks of their journey predicts longer term adherence.

This study investigates the ability of an automated program that assists patients towards continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy adherence.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Positive airway pressure adherence program

Participants will be enrolled in the automated adherence program and will receive supportive messages while they use CPAP as prescribed by their healthcare provider. These messages are designed to aid the participant towards therapy adherence.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL
