About this study

350 participants will be enrolled in this study. The target population are patients newly diagnosed with OSA and starting CPAP treatment.

User accessible customizable comfort settings (Response setting, expiratory pressure relief (EPR) on/off and EPR level, and Ramp) will be set to either default (control group), or personalized for that participant (active treatment group).

Usage will be recorded for the first 1 month of CPAP treatment, to determine if customizing comfort settings can improve CPAP compliance
