INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a couple-focused mobile health intervention will improve the use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), the primary treatment option for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Participants include newly diagnosed patients with OSA who are candidates for CPAP treatment and their partners. The couples will received supportive information and resources on their mobile devices before CPAP begins and continuing for 6 months into CPAP treatment. Their interaction with the resources is self-paced and the time sent engaging with the information is up to them. Participants will be asked to answer questions independently at five points: before CPAP, and after using CPAP for 1-week, 1-month, 3-months and 6-months. Those questions are about their experience of using CPAP, how the partner is involved in CPAP treatment, and symptoms and quality of life. At the end of the study, some couples may be contacted for a virtual discussion about your experience regarding study participation which lasts approximately 1 hour.

Interventions
OurSleepKit is developed as an app including a patient version and a partner version, to be downloaded on the patient's or partner's mobile devices at home. The goal of OurSleepKit is to coach mutual engagement and model positive partner involvement in CPAP treatment, thus motivating greater CPAP adherence. Using OurSleepKit, both the patient and partner will complete periodic assessments tracking various aspects of their sleep and CPAP use. The assessment data are then processed by OurSleepKit to provide customized and dynamically updated support content consisting of brief story-telling videos featuring real-life couples' experiences emphasizing positive dyadic coping and problem-solving strategies. OurSleepKit delivers timely tailored prompts through push notifications on the users' mobile devices' screens, linked to relevant support content, to facilitate positive conversation in the dyad and offer in-the-moment support for CPAP use.
