Demand for continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) devices continues to grow worldwide as awareness of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) increases and more people seek treatment for a condition that often goes undiagnosed.
Recent reports on innovations in CPAP technology, expanding online availability of CPAP equipment, and continued growth in the global CPAP market reflect a broader recognition of sleep apnea as a significant public health concern. Healthcare experts say the trend is encouraging because untreated sleep apnea has been linked to serious health complications, including cardiovascular disease, stroke, and excessive daytime sleepiness, while effective treatment can improve both health and quality of life.
