It seems reductive to consider telemonitoring as a simple tool of surveillance to support adherence. It may be preferable to consider telemonitoring as a follow-up proposal. This will allow for more reactive management and close to the needs of the patients, in particular as telemonitoring is, in general, well accepted by patients.

A better understanding of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) adherence is a priority in improving patient care. To Identify adherence typology with a longitudinal approach, and explore the early determinants of lower adherence to CPAP. Obstructive sleep apnea patients ( N = 204). Prospective and longitudinal study.A classification into four profiles was observed: “ Regular Adherents,” “ Non-Regular Adherents,” “ Persistent Non-Adherents,” and “ Non-Persistent Non-Adherents.” Specific biopsychosocial factors make it possible to evaluate the risk of belonging to a lower adherence profile. We propose a novel approach of CPAP treatment adherence. Several pre-determinants have been identified.
