Highlights
We work in 3 areas:
A) Basic studies in collaboration with Dr. Navajas group. We analyze apneas mechanisms. In this case, we study completely new aspects: the col- lapsibility of the upper airway (UAW) in Marfan syndrome, aspects of the microbiome and sleep apnea (OSA) and also parabiotics models in mod- els of hypoxia / normoxia. Marta Torres, PhD in biology, works very closely. The findings are semi- nal and open up remarkable perspectives on OSA pathogenesis.
B) Multicenter, together with the Spanish group of sleep. Specifically, OSA and elderly (15-20 % of the population) as well as technologies used for the diagnosis. According to these studies it can be said that in elderly patients the presence of OSA with high index of sleep apnea ( IAH ) leads to brain anatomical and pathological symptoms and anomalies. Both improve with CPAP. These are some of the former studies randomized in the literature. Finally it has been found that in patients with an increased risk of suffering OSA the simpli- fied systems are worth.

C) One aspect on which we has worked harder dur- ing 2015 are the information technologies. Spe- cifically, on the development of a virtual dream where most patients are diagnosed with house- hold simple equipment with telematics data , interviews by video conference and monitoring of treatment with CPAP by data transmission besides being able to modify the settings of the equipment from distance. This has been made possible by support from the FIS , SEPAR , SOCAP and specialized industry. The ultimate goal is to change the model of care for these patients to be more cost effective through networking and ICT technology. Several publications confirm the fea- sibility of the project.
