SleepWell24, a Smartphone Application to Promote Adherence to Positive Airway Pressure Therapy: Feasibility and Acceptability in a Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate the feasibility and acceptability of SleepWell24, a multicomponent, evidence-based smartphone application, to improve positive airway pressure therapy (PAP) adherence, among patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) naive to PAP.

Methods

In a single-blind randomized controlled trial, SleepWell24, with a companion activity monitor was compared to usual care plus the activity monitor and its associated app. SleepWell24 provides objective feedback on PAP usage and sleep/physical activity patterns, and chronic disease management. Patients were recruited from two sleep medicine centers and followed over the first 60 days of PAP. Feasibility and acceptability were measured by recruitment/retention rates, app usage, differences in pos
