Inclusion Criteria:
* Patients referred for a sleep study to rule out sleep apnea at the Sleep Disorders Program, University of British Columbia. All patients with documented moderate to severe OSAH (AHIā„15 events per hour by PSG) who are prescribed CPAP by their regular sleep physician, and who are willing to accept a trial of CPAP would potentially eligible for the trial.
* Patients must also provide a telephone number that would allow contact during regular office hours if necessary. Patients must also have access to a telephone line in their bedroom that can be used to transmit data with the modem.
* We have decided to only study patients with moderate to severe disease, as these are the patients who are most at risk of future CV disease and motor vehicle crashes. As such, we believe that improving CPAP compliance in this group of patients would be especially important.
