Military tests virtual sleep coach for apnea care
NCT ID NCT07121452
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether telehealth care, including a human sleep navigator, works as well as private sector care for obstructive sleep apnea in 160 military members aged 18-64. Participants will receive education, support, and troubleshooting via telehealth. The goal is to see if this approach improves PAP machine use, reduces symptoms, and saves money, ultimately boosting military readiness.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Sleep Navigator (behavioral support and education)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that telehealth with a sleep navigator is a cost-effective way to manage sleep apnea in the military, improving health and readiness.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small study (160 people) comparing two care models, not testing a new drug or device. Results may not apply to all settings, and the intervention may not be as effective as in-person care.
