Brief Summary:

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is highly effective in treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, this treatment modality relies heavily on patient adherence, and poor adherence to the treatment limits its effectiveness in treating OSA. Strategies to augment adherence are needed in the management of OSA.

The smart watch and linked app provide various health information, including sleep, snoring or oxygen saturation during sleep, exercise, blood pressure, and electrocardiogram. The smart watch and linked app could potentially improve adherence to positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment.

This randomized controlled trial (RCT) aimed to examine whether the use of smart watch and app can increase PAP adherence in patients with OSA.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Smart watch group
The user of the smart watch and Samsung Health app
Device: the smart watch and Samsung Health app

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Average daily usage of PAP (all days) [ Time Frame: 90 days ]
    Average daily usage of PAP (all days) in 90 days


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Average daily usage of PAP (days used) [ Time Frame: 90 days ]
    Average daily usage of PAP (days used) in 90 days

  2. Percentage of days using PAP [ Time Frame: 90 days ]
    Percentage of days using PAP

  3. Percentage of days using PAP ≥ 4 hours [ Time Frame: 90 days ]
    Percentage of days using PAP ≥ 4 hours

  4. Percentage of patients meeting the National Health Insurance Service adherence criteria [ Time Frame: 90 days ]
    The National Health Insurance Service adherence criteria: ≥ 4 hours of use on ≥ 70% of days over 30 consecutive days during the 90 days of PAP therapy

  5. Changes of the scores of Epworth Sleepiness Scale [ Time Frame: 90 days ]
    Changes of the scores of Epworth Sleepiness Scale

  6. Changes of the scores of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index [ Time Frame: 90 days ]
    Changes of the scores of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (an overall score ranging from 0 to 21, where lower scores denote a healthier sleep quality)

  7. Patient satisfaction with PAP therapy [ Time Frame: 90 days ]
    Patient satisfaction with PAP therapy
