Using the SleepWell24 App to Improve Long-Term CPAP Use and Quality of Life for Adults with Obstructive Sleep Apnea

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating a smartphone application called SleepWell24 to help people with obstructive sleep apnea OSA use their continuous positive airway pressure CPAP devices for at least 6 hours a night, 6 nights a week. The study aims to improve long-term CPAP adherence and quality of life by offering a precision medicine approach that monitors and supports treatment use. Adults newly diagnosed with OSA who are prescribed CPAP and able to use smartphones are invited to participate. Participants will use the SleepWell24 app alongside a Shelly smart plug and a Fitbit Charge 4 wearable device to track CPAP usage, physical activity, sleep time, and sedentary behavior. The study includes an initial 8-week group of 20 participants, followed by a 6-month group with another set of 20 participants. Weekly questionnaires will also be completed to support monitoring and engagement. During the study, participants will have their CPAP adoption and changes in quality of life assessed at baseline and weekly for approximately 6 months. Additional measures include changes in sleep time, physical activity, and sedentary time tracked with the wearable device and app. The study will observe participants adherence and lifestyle changes to better understand how the app supports CPAP treatment over time.
