Can a smartwatch and app boost CPAP use in heart patients?
NCT ID NCT05960175
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether involving patients in managing CPAP machine alerts—using a connected watch and app—can improve how often they use the device. It includes 556 adults with sleep apnea who are at risk for heart problems and likely to struggle with CPAP adherence. The goal is to see if this approach leads to better treatment use and health outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Connected watch and mobile app for CPAP telemonitoring
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could help people with sleep apnea use their CPAP machine more consistently, improving heart health and quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small, early-stage study focused on adherence, not a cure. Results may not apply to all patients, and the technology may not work for everyone.
