Using the Remote Monitoring Framework to Promote Adherence to Continuous Positive Airway Pressure

The ability to remotely monitor positive airway pressure therapy adherence and efficacy provides a unique opportunity for the field of sleep medicine to quickly and efficiently improve patient adherence. Smaller randomized studies and larger-scale retrospective evaluations show that telemedicine interventions leveraging these data can increase average usage and efficiency of care. However, more evidence on the impact of these programs on longer-term adherence and improving patient-reported outcomes is needed. Combining data from remote monitoring with clinical information in electronic health records may prove to be invaluable to the future of clinical sleep medicine practice and research.
