Brief Summary:
This project develops a new form of management of subjects with suspected SAHS and different sleep disorders by applying Information and communications technologies (ICT).
Detailed Description:
Sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) is a prevalent disease with significant morbidity resulting in long waiting lists and high health care costs. Therefore, alternative cost-effective approaches are urgently needed. A possible procedure is telemedicine based on ICT.
The design of the study is prospective, randomized, controlled, open and parallel.
A ICT-based out of hospital management of SAHS is implemented to be compared with the classical in-hospital management.
The main objectives were the evaluation of both groups and the analysis of efficacy and cost effectiveness of two SAHS management programs.
This is a 3 month randomized, with parallel groups study. Participants will be patients with suspicion of SAHS derived to the Investigators' Sleep Unit.
Patients are randomized in two groups; 1) classical in-hospital group: polysomnography or home respiratory polygraphy (HRP), CPAP titration and treatment and hospital follow-up; and 2) ICT group: 3 consecutive HRPs, automatic CPAP treatment and control by phone/video conferences and data transmission by using a custom designed platform.
