Telemonitoring of CPAP Compliance: Key Technical Topics and Clinical Implications

  • Chapter
Noninvasive Mechanical Ventilation

Abstract

The use of telemonitoring to transmit digital data and, therefore, to assist in the provision of better care and adherence to management outside the hospital in patients with chronic respiratory diseases, seems feasible. This chapter reviews different clinical implications of telemonitoring for patients receiving noninvasive ventilation and outcomes in terms of patients’ compliance.
