The Effectiveness of Augmented Reality to Enhance CPAP Therapy in OSA Patients

The goal of this clinical trial is to exam if artificial reality works to improve continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) adherence in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients. It will also learn about the feasibility of AR guided CPAP therapy. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does AR guided CPAP therapy increase the adherence of CPAP therapy among OSA patients? What barriers do participants have when using AR guided CPAP therapy? Researchers will compare AR guided CPAP therapy to a control (standard of care) to see if AR guided CPAP therapy works to enhance the adherence of CPAP therapy.

Participants will:

1. Take AR guided CPAP therapy or standard of care every day for 6 months 2. Visit the clinic on baseline (t0), receiving CPAP therapy at the 1st month (t1), for checkups and tests, receiving CPAP therapy at the 3rd month (t2), receiving CPAP therapy at the 6th month (t3). 3. Response their symptoms on each following time.

About this study

Participants will randomly assign to two group, for experimental group will be received AR guided CPAP therapy. In the control group will be received standard of care.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • (1) Diagnosed with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (AHI≥15) through polysomnography (PSG).
  • (2) Age is equal to or greater than 20 years old or equal.

Exclusion criteria

  • (1) individuals who have previously used positive pressure ventilators for treatment,
  • (2) those diagnosed with central sleep apnea,
  • (3) those with uncontrolled acute mental illness,
  • (4) terminally ill patients.

Treatment and study plan

With AR guided CPAP therapy

Behavioral

Participants will received AR training course to utilize the AR guided CPAP therapy

Primary outcomes

  1. The adherence of CPAP therapy

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 months

    Adherence refers to the patient's adherence to CPAP therapy, which means using CPAP for more than 70% of the total sleep time during the night, with a minimum duration of 4 hours. The calculation method involves dividing the number of days with CPAP use exceeding 4 hours by the total number of days and multiplying by 100 to obtain the average percentage of CPAP usage.
