Remote CPAP Mask Selection Software Comparison Guide

  • CPAP
  • 1.2K

Patients who are prescribed positive airway pressure therapy now have the option of being fitted for the interface from the privacy of their own homes. HIPAA-compliant software requires a patient photo (and sometimes specific measurements) to recommend CPAP masks. The trend of remote CPAP mask fittings has been accelerated by the coronavirus pandemic, since traditional mask fittings did not allow for physical distancing. Compare mask selectors on parameters such as supported masks, availability, pricing structure, tech requirements, and tech support.

Description: Using a proprietary sizing algorithm and advanced 3D facial-scanning technology, Philips Mask Selector helps determine an accurate, personalized CPAP mask recommendation to promote adherence, reduce refits, and alleviate costs. To support partners during COVID-19, Philips also introduced a 2D mobile version for remote use from the patient’s home. ResMed MaskSelector creates personalized mask recommendations based on a patient’s sleep attributes and facial measurements. An HME provides a HIPAA-compliant single-use link via text or email to a patient, who then answers a brief questionnaire and enters three facial measurements into a portal. Based on the patient’s responses, the tool recommends a mask. SleepGlad offers a patented, cloud-based 3D mask fitting solution built on AI technology that includes multiple manufacturers. With machine learning, SleepGlad maximizes outcomes for PAP compliance, minimizes mask refits, optimizes legacy masks into newer technology, and offers data-driven results. Patients simply take a selfie either remotely or in person. SovaSage TherapistAssist software’s AI and computer-vision technology is an easy and accurate mask fitting solution. The sovaSage FitScore ranks and sizes the best mask, regardless of manufacturer, reducing costs and mask exchanges and empowering better RT decisions.
