Sleep apnea study tests High-Tech CPAP tracking
NCT ID NCT07464262
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether remote monitoring of CPAP machines helps people with severe sleep apnea use their therapy more regularly. About 200 adults who are new to CPAP will either get standard care or have their device tracked remotely via an app. The goal is to see if digital support improves adherence, sleep quality, and daytime alertness.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age between 18 and 75 years. * Diagnosis of severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) confirmed by polysomnography with apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥30 events/hour. * New CPAP users (≤30 days since initiation of CPAP therapy). * Resident within the coverage area of the Southeast Regional Health Coordination (CRS Sudeste), São Paulo, Brazil. * Ability to understand and sign the informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: * Previous CPAP use for more than 30 days prior to enrollment. * Indication for bilevel ventilation (BiPAP) or non-invasive ventilation due to conditions such as hypoventilation syndromes, chronic hypercapnic COPD, or neuromuscular diseases. * Predominant central sleep apnea (≥50% central events) or Cheyne-Stokes respiration. * Recent unstable or severe comorbidity (e.g., decompensated heart failure, acute coronary syndrome within 30 days, stroke within 3 months). * Severe cognitive impairment or psychiatric disorder that prevents understanding of study procedures or adherence. * Conditions preventing safe use of CPAP mask (e.g., major craniofacial deformities, facial trauma, extensive facial skin lesions). * Inability to maintain follow-up in primary care services of CRS Sudeste. * Participation in another interventional clinical trial that may interfere with study outcomes.
