ResMed study shows how digital tools aid sleep apnoea treatment adherence

28th October 2016

ResMed has announced data from a major new study assessing the benefits of digital connected care models for sleep apnoea patients.

The observational study was the largest of its kind in the world and included more than 128,000 people with sleep apnoea whose devices allow for therapy to be remotely monitored using ResMed's myAir cognitive behaviour-based patient engagement app.

Results from the trial indicated that people who use a self-management app when treating their sleep apnoea with positive airway pressure (PAP) are significantly more likely to stick with their therapy.

More than 87 percent of PAP users were compliant on therapy when supported by myAir and AirView monitoring, compared to 70 percent compliance for those monitored by AirView alone.

ResMed's medical director Adam Benjafield said: "While our study focused on PAP users, we believe these results may be generalised more broadly in terms of the role online tools can have in improving medical treatment compliance overall."

The company also announced its financial results for the first quarter of its 2017 fiscal year this week, during which it achieved a 13 percent year-on-year increase in revenues.
