The Effect of Patient-Facing Applications on Positive Airway Pressure Therapy Adherence: A Systematic Review

Conclusions:PFA use was associated with improved adherence to PAP therapy. Although this conclusion is based on only two small trials and predominantly observational studies and therefore should be tested in large prospective trials, the PAFs are inexpensive, do not draw on health care resources, and show promise in improving PAP therapy for OSA.Citation:Shaughnessy GF, Morgenthaler TI.
