Evaluation of a Health Dashboard Intervention to Improve Engagement With CPAP Therapy in PAP-Naïve Patients: Project Neo

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This is a prospective, open-label study to evaluate the effectiveness of providing a dashboard with merged health metrics of CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure/ PAP) usage, self-reported sleepiness, blood pressure (BP) and activity (steps).

Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| No Intervention: Control<br> | |
| Experimental: Intervention<br> | Other: Neo App<br>* Neo is a smartphone-based dashboard application that utilizes concepts from behavioral science and health psychology to support patients to improve their adherence to therapy. This is done through behavior change techniques and intervention functions (Michie, Atkins & West, 2014). This app is designed to prompt participants' self-regulation of lifestyle and health behaviors, to support adherence to therapy. Such self-regulation of lifestyle behaviors is informed by presenting health metric data (through wearables, myAir (biofeedback) and self-report), in an easy to understand dashboard platform on the app. Participants will be asked to use their PAP device (as normal), use a Withings blood pressure cuff and activity monitor. This data is brought into the Neo app through an API Exchange gateway. This data will be presented to the participant and communicated in an easy to understand way.<br>|
