“…At the 2018 European Respiratory Society International Congress, ENGELMAN et al [56] presented a retrospective study (data from Philips) comparing CPAP use in an "old fashioned" OSA cohort versus a "new feature" OSA cohort, including remote monitoring, device display and a patient support phone app.…”

@ERSpublicationsUsing telemedicine in obstructive sleep apnoea patients under continuous positive airway pressure therapy leads to reductions in nursing workload, early identification of problematic patients, and at least similar treatment adherence.ABSTRACT Telemedicine (TM) is a current tool in the landscape of medicine. It helps to address public health challenges such as increases in chronic disease in an ageing society and the associated burden in healthcare costs. Sleep TM refers to patient data exchange with the purpose of enhancing disease management. Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) syndrome is a chronic disorder associated with a significant morbidity, mainly cardiometabolic, and mortality. Obtaining adequate compliance to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) remains the greatest challenge related to OSA treatment, and the adoption of TM to support OSA management makes sense. In addition, the prevalence of OSA is growing and OSA is associated with increased healthcare costs that could be streamlined by the application of TM. In OSA, multiple modalities of TM are utilised, such as telediagnostics, teleconsultation, teletherapy and telemonitoring of patients being treated with CPAP. In the present article, I aim to provide an overview of current practice and the recent developments in TM for OSA management. Concerns related to TM use will also be addressed.

“…Such an approach has shown benefit when delivered by health care providers in different studies (Table 4). 45,89,99,128,129,130 Engleman and colleagues 131 presented a retrospective study (data from Philips) comparing CPAP use in an old-fashioned OSA cohort versus a new feature OSA cohort, including remote monitoring, device display and a patient support phone app. In the 817 included patients, the implementation of multiple telemedicine supporting tools resulted in an increase in daily CPAP use of 1.1 hours per night during the first 12 weeks of CPAP therapy.…”

Telemedicine has applications in all stages of the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of patients with sleep-disordered breathing. Diagnostic applications include telemonitored polysomnography, communication of test results and therapeutic options, and remote continuous positive airway pressure titration. Online compliance monitoring results in similar and in some cases improved compliance when compared with traditional face-to-face evaluations. The impact of telemedicine on compliance depends on the preexisting organization of standard care in the routine setting. Combining theory-driven behavioral approaches with telemedicine technology could hold the answer to increasing real-world adherence rates. Targeted troubleshooting and support based on individual patient data, web-, and/or app-based teaching, and combinations via a smartphone app or coaching website is feasible. Telemedicine is likely cost-effective but requires better evidence.
