Summary

This trial is testing the effectiveness of a proactively delivered and pragmatic lifestyle intervention to improve sleep-related quality of life and weight among patients with OSA and obesity.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and obesity, having a BMI between 30.0-44.9 kg/m2. Participants should have access to digital media for the intervention and be able to fully engage in study procedures. Those actively in weight loss programs, with certain health conditions or life expectancies under two years, pregnant women, or non-English speakers are excluded.
What is being tested?
The trial tests a remote lifestyle intervention aimed at improving sleep-related quality of life and reducing weight in patients with OSA and obesity. It involves video-based education, self-guided materials on diet and exercise over a year, with support from a lifestyle coach compared to usual care.
What are the potential side effects?
As this is a lifestyle intervention focusing on diet changes and increased physical activity rather than medication or surgery, side effects may include muscle soreness from new exercises or adjustments to dietary changes but are generally minimal compared to drug treatments.
