Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) telehealth management may improve initial and chronic care access, time to diagnosis and treatment, between-visit care, e-communications and e-education, workflows, costs, and therapy outcomes. OSA telehealth options may be used to replace or supplement none, some, or all steps in the evaluation, testing, treatments, and management of OSA. All telehealth steps must adhere to OSA guidelines. OSA telehealth may be adapted for continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and non-CPAP treatments. E-data collection enhances uses for individual and group analytics, phenotyping, testing and treatment selections, high-risk identification and targeted support, and comparative and multispecialty therapy studies.

Purpose: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) affects up to 936 million adults globally and is linked to significant health risks, including neurocognitive impairment, cardiovascular diseases, and metabolic conditions. Despite its prevalence, OSA remains largely underdiagnosed. This study aimed to enhance OSA awareness and risk assessment using the STOP-Bang questionnaire in a telemedicine format.

Introduction: The management of a chronic and frequent pathology, such as obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), requires personalised programmes that implement new technology-based tools to improve the comprehensive treatment of the patient to reduce the morbidity associated with this disease. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of an eHealth tool in managing the pathophysiological consequences of OSA and how they impact the quality of life after 3 months of intervention among adults.
Methods And Analysis: This is a mixed-method sequential exploratory study protocol.

Background: The ever-increasing number of patients diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and treated by long-term continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) overstretches conventional follow-up pathways. New approaches to the management of CPAP-treated patient follow-up are needed to strike a balance between remote monitoring through digital technologies and in-person patient-healthcare-professional contacts. Focusing on the reshaping of the management of care pathways of CPAP-treated patients, with a specific focus on telemonitoring platforms, we aimed to review the evidence on how digital medicine and artificial intelligence (AI) tools are facilitating patient phenotyping and triage, risk stratification and the allocation of resources between the various healthcare professionals for an optimal follow-up of CPAP-treated patients.

Purpose: Obstructive Sleep Apnea is a widespread disease but is very underdiagnosed and undertreated. The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness and patient satisfaction of using the WatchPAT ONE, a disposable home sleep apnea test device, within a telemedicine-based management pathway.
Methods: All patients who used the telemedicine services for OSA diagnosis using the WatchPAT ONE were prospectively enrolled in the study.

Background: Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is common in commercial drivers, and associated with increased risk of crashes if untreated, making diagnosis and effective treatment crucial in this population.
Study Design And Methods: This is a retrospective summary of a clinical programme based on telemedicine and remote treatment monitoring developed with a national trucking company to screen new hires in the USA for OSA and implement positive airway pressure (PAP) management. New hires were informed of the programme and consented as part of their employment.
