Abstract

Telemonitoring is a frequently used tool in the long-term management of many chronic diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or chronic heart failure. The use of new sensors and telemedical tools will shape medical practice in the future, particularly in sleep medicine. During the last decades, the number of people with sleep disordered breathing has been increasing.Telemedicine (TM) approaches could be used in various ways in sleep medicine: telediagnostics, teleconsultation, teletherapy, and telemonitoring of patients being treated with positive pressure devices.This chapter aims to summarize the recent scientific progresses of these techniques as well as their potential clinical applications and tries to give consideration to the remaining problems with TM applications.

Keywords: Obstructive sleep apnea; Positive airway pressure; Teleconsultation; Telediagnostics; Telemedicine; Telemonitoring; Teletherapy; Therapy management.
