Abstract

Application of CPAP Telemonitoring as a "Health Monitor"

Kimimasa Saito*

We review the previous literature and our own cases to describe the conditions reflected by Cheyne-Stokes Breathing (CSB) % variability based on data downloaded from CPAP devices in patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and the possibility of detecting abnormalities in these conditions by telemonitoring CSB. Telemonitoring of CSB can allow early clinical prediction of heart disease onset and exacerbation. In addition, incorporating changes in cycle length may improve the accuracy of anomaly detection, and CSB telemonitoring may also reflect dynamic changes in loop gain phenomena.?Furthermore, it may be able to reflect pathologies other than heart disease. However, there are still challenges to be overcome for further clinical application of telemonitoring of CSB.
