| Purpose: |
|
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.
