Good to see another example of using sleep-tracking wearables to enhance CPAP adherence – according to a recent study by the University of Chicago Medicine and Northwestern University: https://lnkd.in/en2euHxs Sleep health professionals are constantly tackling the challenge of CPAP compliance with sleep apnea patients, which can be as low as 50% in the long term. Combining the usage of sleep-tracking wearables with CPAP devices offers a more accurate and customized approach to treatment effectiveness, one that can transform how we monitor and manage sleep apnea. We're excited to leverage the comprehensive sleep data from our award-winning #TipTraQ to provide personalized insights and enhance CPAP adherence: https://lnkd.in/e_wF3yJe To all the sleep healthcare providers out there, how do you address the challenge of CPAP compliance in your practice? Let us know! 😊 #sleephealth #cpap #sleepapneatreatment #sleepapnea

📢 EnsoData receives FDA clearance for AI-powered sleep diagnosis technology By utilising EnsoSleep PPG scoring, widely accessible and wearable pulse oximetry technology can offer a high-quality, accessible, and cost-effective method for diagnosing sleep disorders, including sleep apnoea, said the company. According to EnsoData, early and precise diagnosis of sleep apnoea can help clinicians avoid complications and lower healthcare expenses. Following the new approval, EnsoSleep PPG will facilitate AI-driven analysis of the photoplethysmogram (PPG) data acquired by pulse oximeters. This will give doctors additional opportunities to effectively reach an undiagnosed patient population, EnsoData said. EnsoData CEO Justin Mortara, Ph.D. said: “Expanding EnsoData’s capability to collect and analyse PPG signals from simple, wearable pulse ox devices will accelerate the identification, diagnosis and treatment of sleep disordered breathing events, including sleep apnoea. “With this latest FDA clearance, we expect to build upon and diversify our partner ecosystem to reach more patients with our leading AI solutions.” Read more online: https://lnkd.in/esnuTnWQ 📰 Follow Medical Device Developments to receive the latest medical device news daily and to subscribe to our weekly newsletter #MedicalDeviceDevelopments #ensodata #sleephealth

Over the last decade we have learned two seismic facts about sleep apnea. First, 80% of sufferers of this dangerous disease are, as yet, unidentified. Second, one treatment does not fit all; there are several so-called distinct phenotypes each requiring different therapeutic regimens. To tackle both of these issues together, the research team at breathesimple™, working with its partners, has patented a number of low-cost, home-screening techniques designed to uncover early-stage apnea ‘suspects’ and separate them into their unique phenotype categories. In this way, new patients can be identified before major health issues develop, pointing to less invasive alleviation methods while, at the same time, improving outcomes. The research has embraced the concepts of AI-driven combinatorial methods, both for categorizing as well as treatment of early-stage apnea sufferers. These methods can vastly increase the accuracy of detection and the efficacy of treatments. As just one example, the chart shows combinatorial data of only two independent factors, deviations in breathing patterns and short-term oxygen saturation. Neither of these alone reaches a level where screening accuracy is sufficient; however, using combinatorial methods, extremely high correlation coefficients close to 0.9 are achieved. (A correlation coefficient is a number between -1 and 1 shows the strength and direction of a relationship between variables. In other words, it reflects how similar the measurements of two or more variables are across a dataset). When we add other wearable parameters into a multi-dimensional matrix we are able to even improve on this. If you want to learn more and explore additional partnerships with breathesimple, please send me a short note of interest. I will respond promptly. #osa #desaturation #cpap #sleepdisturbedbreathing #SDB #phenotypes #apnea #sleep #wearables
