Bridging the knowledge gap during a health technology crisis: Insights following a global CPAP device recall 

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a disorder that interferes with breathing during sleep and affects millions of people worldwide. The condition has been linked to long-term health complications like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cognitive issues, and cancer.

The recommended treatment for OSA is a machine that delivers pressurized air through a tube and mask to open the throat during sleep, known as positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy—including bi-level positive airway pressure (BiPAP) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).
