Summary
This Mayo Clinic study tests a smartphone app called SleepWell24 to help people with obstructive sleep apnea use their CPAP machine for at least 6 hours a night, 6 nights a week. The app connects to a smart plug and a Fitbit to track CPAP usage, sleep time, and activity. Researchers will enroll 40 adults newly diagnosed with sleep apnea to see if the app improves CPAP adherence and quality of life.
