Research & Plan

For years the standard of care for people using CPAP machines for sleep apnea was to rely on periodic in-clinic consultations or home visits to ensure that they were properly using these medical devices. As a result, problems were often identified too late and outcomes (both in terms of quality of life and overall health) were negatively impacted.

While designing a new IoT system for CPAP users, we learned that helping users understand their treatment and the data collected by their CPAP was as big an opportunity as connecting them to their physicians.
