Patient initiation and ongoing sleep therapy compliance

Patient initiation and ongoing sleep therapy compliance is everything

Long-term sustainable therapy starts with comfort and connectivity in every way. Keeping patients engaged – and your team one step ahead.

But there are a number of obstacles that threaten success:

30%-40% of PAP therapy patients are estimated to be non-adherent in the first 90 days¹
25% of patients require an adjustment to prescription pressures in the first 90 days¹
Patients often find it hard to maintain therapy when traveling
