Simple OSA patient setup and training

Simple OSA patient setup and training is everything

Taking the guesswork and labor out of therapy setup helps give patients and your care team a meaningful advantage. To make care run more efficiently at every breath.

But there are so many potential stumbling blocks:

Mask fitting and selection can be time-consuming
1 out of 3 patients¹ needs to be refitted for a mask after a sleep test
Potential programming of individual devices is inefficient
Complex devices and challenging setups can lead to difficulties with training
Patients increasingly prefer remote options, and less in-person care

Philips offers solutions to help make life better
at every stage of setup and training:

Mask Fitting

Device Setup

Patient Setup and Training

A patient’s mask is the most intimate part of therapy, so our focus is to provide a form of comfort that can only be described as innate. With an unparalleled breadth of mask options and data-driven mask selection, we’re ensuring patients can find the right mask the first time – to drive comfort and self-management from the first night.

Therapy can then begin effortlessly. It's fully automated from home delivery and setup to live coaching on device use.
