People suffering Obstructive Sleep Apnea are normally treated by using a device that provides continuous positive airway pressure. Currently solutions do not rely on any remote assistance and data gathered from that device are accessible to clinicians only when the patient goes to the annual visit. In this paper, we propose an IoTbased system that sends data to the cloud where are analyzed to support patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea giving also a suitable feedback to lung specialists. The work is part of the Spanish project myOSA. Clinical trials with patients from the Hospital Arnau i Vilanova in Lleida (Spain) started on July 2016 and will last 6 months.
