Telemedicine home CPAP titration and follow-up in the COVID-19 scenario

What is it about?

This study compares CPAP titration and early follow-up in a pre-pandemic face-to-face usual care cohort and a telemedicine cohort in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, in which the benefits of using a smartphone application were also assessed. Our main findings are that telemedicine is equivalent to usual care in terms of successful CPAP titration and compliance while achieving greater patient satisfaction. We also conclude that the use of the mHealth app may help patients self-empower, as well as encouraging increased CPAP use.
