About the service

Vestre Viken Health Trust offers digital home follow-up for patients with obstructive sleep apnea who use a CPAP machine (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) at night. This service enables healthcare professionals to remotely read data from the patient's CPAP machine and, if necessary, adjust treatment to optimize effectiveness.

CPAP treatment is the first choice for many patients with obstructive sleep apnea and involves using a breathing machine that blows air through a mask into the patient's mouth and nose, helping to keep the airways open during sleep. Digital home follow-up allows healthcare professionals to continuously monitor treatment and make necessary adjustments without the patient needing to physically visit the hospital.

This service is especially suitable for patients who want more flexible follow-up and have access to the necessary digital equipment. For healthcare professionals, it provides an effective way to ensure that patients receive optimal treatment while reducing the need for physical consultations.
