Sleep apnoea syndrome is a prevalent condition that has led to advancements in personalised sleep apnoea therapy, affecting millions globally. Multiple breathing pauses can occur during sleep when the airway is completely or partially closed for periods of time. Other health issues can occur as a result of Sleep apnoea, including cardiovascular problems and daytime tiredness. Fortunately, advancements in both hardware and software have revolutionised the way we approach sleep apnea therapy.
