CPAP monitoring is shifting from a uniform 4-hours/night target to outcome-driven, phenotype-stratified care. Remote, multimodal follow-up pairs device signals with clinically meaningful outcomes (longitudinal PROMs, nocturnal oxygenation burden, blood-pressure/metabolic control) to trigger timely remote titration or alternative therapy when needed. Crucially, service design and incentives must evolve, clarifying task-sharing between technical CPAP management and comorbidity care, and aligning reimbursement with measurable clinical value. Telemonitoring should deliver high-quality, interoperable, actionable data, responsibly augmented by AI.
Success is sustained symptom relief and cardiovascular risk reduction, not raw usage.
