Multimodal Remote Monitoring and Integrated Educational Program in OSA Patients Initiating Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP): (SLEEPCONNECT) (SLEEPCONNECT)

March 4, 2024 updated by: University Hospital, Grenoble

Multimodal Remote Monitoring and Integrated Educational Program in OSA Patients Initiating Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP): a Prospective Intervention (SLEEPCONNECT)

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the first line therapy for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) but has limited impact for reducing cardio-metabolic risk.

Combined treatment strategies including physical activity and weight loss management have emerged in association with CPAP. Patient's engagement might be supported by connected devices and smartphone applications measuring physical activity, blood pressure, weight and sleep duration. Data fusion of these parameters with CPAP-remote telemonitoring will allow personalized coaching and integrated care of OSAS with cardio-metabolic co-morbidities.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

"SLEEPCONNECT" is a prospective multicenter observational study with:

  • Evaluation of the impact of multimodal remote monitoring using connected devices and a dedicated smartphone application on the control of blood pressure after 3 months of CPAP.
  • Evaluation of impact of such an integrated care on physical activity and body weight

This study is supported by the S.BOXTM CPAP device and its companion connected devices (physical activity, blood pressure, sleep duration, weight) and smartphone application collecting CPAP telemonitoring and assessing patients reported outcomes (PROMs). Patients have a continuous access to their own data.

Digital health system will be complemented by physical activity and nutrition coaching. Coaching persons will be inform during the follow-up by data collected by connected devices and app.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: CPAP S.Box associated with its 3 connected devices
S.BOXTM CPAP associated with its 3 connected devices Each patient will be monitored by a CPAP S.Box, with a Sefam Access application installed on their Smartphone to collect data from 3 connected measuring devices: PROMs, an activity monitor and a blood pressure monitor.
CPAP associated with connected devices: blood pressure monitor , PROMs and activity monitor Patients will use their connected devices for one year. Data from the connected devices will be transmitted to their smartphone application Sefam Access. At the beginning of the study, patients will have a dietary assessment and start a support program for nutrition counselling and physical activity. At each study visit the dietician and physical exercise coach will give the patient advices on diet and for adjusting physical activity.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Comparison of mean value of 18 self measures blood pressure
Time Frame: baseline and 3 months

Patients will have a connected blood pressure monitor and will make self-measurements at inclusion and 3 months after starting CPAP.

Self-measurement consists of 3 measurements, with a 1 minute interval between each one, each morning and evening over 3 days.

baseline and 3 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Time Frame
Comparison of variability of 18 measurements of SBP by self-measurement, between inclusion and after 3 months of CPAP treatment
Time Frame: baseline to 3 months
Patients will have a connected blood pressure monitor and will be asked to make self-measurements at baseline and at 15 days, 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months after starting CPAP.
