Brief Summary

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

The goal of this clinical trial is to exam if artificial reality works to improve continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) adherence in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients. It will also learn about the feasibility of AR guided CPAP therapy. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does AR guided CPAP therapy increase the adherence of CPAP therapy among OSA patients? What barriers do participants have when using AR guided CPAP therapy? Researchers will compare AR guided CPAP therapy to a control (standard of care) to see if AR guided CPAP therapy works to enhance the adherence of CPAP therapy.

Participants will:

1. Take AR guided CPAP therapy or standard of care every day for 6 months
2. Visit the clinic on baseline (t0), receiving CPAP therapy at the 1st month (t1), for checkups and tests, receiving CPAP therapy at the 3rd month (t2), receiving CPAP therapy at the 6th month (t3).
3. Response their symptoms on each following time.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Participants will randomly assign to two group, for experimental group will be received AR guided CPAP therapy. In the control group will be received standard of care.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

For the interventional group, they will utilize AR-guided CPAP therapy to ensure a proper fit of the CPAP device mask and successful adherence to the CPAP therapy. For the standard of care group, they will receive the standard of care.

Participants Outcome Assessors
Participnants will be randomly assigned to experimental or control groups by using block randomized method. In the study, we will use independent staff members who are not involved in outcome assessment to handle administrative tasks related to group assignments. In order to mask outcomes assessors, we will ensure that all documents and data sets used by the outcome assessors do not contain any information that could reveal group allocation.

Study Groups
