Summary

Automatically titrating continuous positive airway pressure (APAP) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) are considered first-line treatments for obstructive sleep apnea. There is a growing body of evidence that suggests that early patient education and intervention may improve adherence with positive airway pressure. The investigators plan a prospective, randomized trial to see if telemonitoring in the first several weeks of PAP therapy improves adherence following 3 months of treatment.
