CPAP follow-up.
Support beyond the first night.

CPAP compliance, also called CPAP adherence, describes how regularly someone uses their CPAP machine as prescribed for obstructive sleep apnoea. Sleep medicine guidance advises using CPAP all night, every night, including naps. There is no single definition of good compliance: studies, sleep services and insurers can each set their own usage thresholds.

CPAP follow-up reviews how often the machine is used, whether treatment is working, and any problems with the mask, comfort or side effects such as a dry mouth or blocked nose. The sleep team also asks about symptoms such as daytime sleepiness. Guidance recommends close follow-up when therapy starts and periodic reviews during ongoing treatment.

CPAP machines usually record usage, such as how long the mask is worn each night, and the sleep team can download or remotely review this data. Reports may also show mask leak and remaining breathing events. Because people often overestimate their own use, guidance recommends combining machine data with what the patient reports about difficulties and symptoms.

Anyone prescribed CPAP for obstructive sleep apnoea should have follow-up, especially when starting therapy, because use in the first days and weeks tends to predict longer-term use. Regular check-ups continue during treatment to confirm it is working, and a repeat sleep study may be needed, for example after a large change in weight.

No. A sleep study is a diagnostic test that shows whether you have sleep apnoea and how severe it is, and CPAP treatment should be based on that diagnosis. CPAP follow-up begins once treatment starts and checks how therapy is going. Your sleep team may arrange a repeat sleep study during treatment when appropriate.

Many parts of CPAP follow-up can be supported remotely, including education, symptom questionnaires, check-ins and remote review of CPAP machine data where the service uses it. Mask fittings, equipment changes and repeat sleep studies may need an in-person visit or a local appointment. The sleep team decides which steps are suitable for remote follow-up.

Digital follow-up helps a sleep team hear how CPAP therapy is going between appointments, from nightly use to mask comfort and daytime sleepiness. WeGuide brings scheduled check-ins, validated questionnaires, reminders and patient education into a digital journey configured by the care team. WeGuide does not read CPAP machines: the sleep team reviews those reports alongside what patients share.

The patient and sleep team agree next steps, which may include a different mask, humidifier use, setting changes, routine goals and a date for the next review. WeGuide supports this ongoing journey with reminders, scheduled check-ins and patient education. Where the care team uses it, sleep data from a connected wearable can be shared, although it does not measure sleep apnoea.

Contact WeGuide to discuss your CPAP follow-up pathway, patient population and existing workflow. Together, we can identify the intake forms, patient education, check-in schedule and any integrations needed to support your sleep service. Your clinical team defines the follow-up protocol and care decisions.

WeGuide pricing depends on the scope of your care pathway, configuration, integrations and support requirements. Contact our team to discuss your sleep service and request a proposal. CPAP equipment, consultation and testing fees are determined separately by the care provider.
