Adherence to Health Coaching with Wearable Devices: Enhancing Patient Engagement and Outcomes

Sponsor: Coastal Carolina University

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how integrating health and wellness coaching (HWC) with Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy affects adherence to treatment and overall health outcomes in individuals with obstructive sleep apnea. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does HWC improve CPAP adherence compared to standard care, in terms of device usage metrics (hours per night and days per month)? * How does combining HWC with weight management influence CPAP adherence and weight loss? * What are the differences in treatment outcomes between individuals receiving standard care and those receiving HWC? Researchers will compare two groups: * Standard Care Group: Participants receiving standard CPAP therapy without additional health coaching. * HWC Group: Participants receiving CPAP therapy combined with health and wellness coaching focused on weight management and sleep hygiene. Participants will: * Attend 2 in-office visits with a study physician (2 hours maximum) * Have 6 virtual visits via video with a study health coach (3 hours maximum) if in the HWC group This study aims to provide valuable insights into enhancing treatment outcomes for individuals with sleep apnea by integrating health coaching with CPAP therapy.
