ABSTRACT

Telemedicine (TM) is a new medical service model in which computer, communication, and medical technologies and equipment are used to provide "face-to-face" communication between medical personnel and patients through the integrated transmission of data, voice, images, and video. This model has been increasingly applied to the management of patients with sleep disorders, including those with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). TM technology plays an important role in condition monitoring, treatment compliance, and management of OSAS cases. Herein, we review the concept of TM, its application to OSAS, and the related effects and present relevant application suggestions and strategies, which may provide concepts and references for OSAS-related TM development and application.
