This study seeks to enhance long-term positive airway pressure (PAP) adherence among Spanish-speaking Hispanic adults, a group with known PAP outcomes disparities. This study will assess the feasibility of a linguistically and culturally adapted tele-management intervention (Automated Management, AM) for Spanish-speaking Hispanic adults with OSA.
This feasibility study seeks to enhance long-term positive airway pressure (PAP) adherence among Spanish-speaking Hispanic adults, a group with known PAP outcomes disparities. This study will assess the feasibility, usability and effectiveness of a linguistically and culturally adapted tele-management intervention (Automated Management, AM) for Spanish-speaking Hispanic adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) (N=50). A prospective, randomized, parallel group, unblinded, feasibility trial is proposed. AM is a tele-management strategy that includes evidence-based components for improving short…

A tele-management intervention that will deliver text messages to participants via a bot - a computer program that simulates human outreach activity. Programmed messages will address evidence based intervention components for positive airway pressure (PAP) adherence, including PAP use awareness (tele-monitoring), support and troubleshooting, education, and brief motivational messaging.
