About
Philips DreamMapper is an award-winning mobile and web application built to support patients on PAP therapy for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Backed by clinical data, DreamMapper has been shown to increase nightly therapy usage by 58.3% and deliver a 283.3% higher success rate for patients struggling with adherence compared to standard care. With more than 2 million registered users worldwide, it is Philips' most impactful sleep apnea engagement tool. The app lets patients track their daily therapy progress, set personalized goals and reminders, and earn acknowledgments for hitting milestones. A built-in educational library helps users troubleshoot common PAP challenges and understand their therapy journey. Before clinical appointments, patients can generate detailed therapy reports to share with their care team, enabling more productive and informed office visits. For homecare providers and clinicians, DreamMapper acts as a powerful adherence driver — reducing the burden on care staff while keeping patients motivated between visits. It integrates with Philips DreamStation 2 devices and complements the Care Orchestrator platform for remote monitoring. DreamMapper is ideal for sleep clinics, homecare companies, and individual patients who want data-driven support in managing long-term PAP therapy compliance.
