Key Questions need to be addressed:

1. Diagnosis

• Different diagnostic tests, subgroups of population or patients with different

characteristics.

• How is phased testing working in sleep apnea diagnosis?. Role of new tech-
nologies.

• Long-term consequences and impact in the clinical management

• Studies facing clinical and basic aspects for the better understanding and the
better management.

• To develop networks in order to detect better the patients (family and physi-

cians among others).

2. Treatment

• Comparative effects of different sleep apnea treatments, depending on diffe-

rent characteristics (patient’s personal characteristics, different physiological
variables (SaO2), among others).

• Pre-treatment characteristics of patients and compliance.

• é
Interventions to improve compliance in different treatments. Role of teleme-
dicine.

• To develop networks to improve management and control of sleep apnea and

follow-up (nurses, family, physicians....)

• Non CPAP treatment of sleep apnea.

The major aims are as follows:
Aims and

objectives
1. Study the management and impact of sleep apnea in the new target

populations mentioned above;

2. Develop new technologies to be applied in the diagnosis, treatment and
follow up of patients with SAHS,

3. Work on transference protocols as well as a new cost-effective clinical
protocols and
ñ

4. To start using the Medicine 2 system for working.
