Chronic Care Management With Wearable Devices in Patients Prescribed Positive Airway Pressure Therapy (mPAP) Trial

The goal of this clinical trial in adults with obstructive sleep apnea prescribed positive airway pressure therapy is to test the effects of a new patient-facing consumer wearable-based program (that involves provision of a consumer wearable that measures oxygen levels during sleep plus customized weekly reports to participants). The main question is to learn whether participants' use of positive airway pressure therapy will differ between the participants who receive the new program immediately versus delayed. Participants assigned to the delayed program will receive usual care while waiting for the program to begin.

After being informed about the study and potential risks, all patients giving written informed consent will undergo a screening to determine eligibility for study entry. Patients who meet the eligibility requirements will be randomized to immediate versus waitlist control in a 1:1 ratio. Our project is at the forefront of consumer wearable research, leveraging the recent capabilities of consumer wearables to provide pulse oximetry data during sleep, to uncover new ways to promote PAP usage among patients with obstructive sleep apnea.
