AASM accreditation for sleep medicine facilities is the gold standard by which the medical community and the public can evaluate sleep medicine services. The AASM standards for accreditation ensure the highest quality of care. By achieving accreditation, a sleep medicine facility, independent sleep practice, or DME provider demonstrates a commitment to providing quality diagnostic services.

My name is Uthara Keerthi, and I’m a Data Scientist at Somnoware. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is one of the most commonly used methods to reduce the severity of sleep apnea. Despite its serious consequences on health, many patients fail to adhere to CPAP therapy on a regular basis. Several studies have been conducted to determine the important drivers for short-term and long-term therapy compliance.

Santa Clara, CA – July 27, 2017: Somnoware, a leading provider of digital health technology, announces a secure cloud-based polysomnography (PSG) distributed scoring solution. This solution provides physicians with remote scoring capability to support accelerated diagnostics and sleep care management. The speed and functionality of scoring in the cloud is on par with doing it on a native desktop, and faster than using a virtual private network (VPN).

In 2012, I got into sleep medicine on accident. What I saw in sleep medicine is that the care is highly fragmented, the physicians don’t have all the data they need to take care of their patients.

Dr. Raj Misra, Chief Data Scientist, discusses predictive analytics for Somnoware in this video. Click the red button to view the video on our YouTube channel. In the healthcare industry, we are sitting on a goldmine of data, ever since the early 2000s when electronic health records (EHR) became mandatory and we started collecting a lot of data on every patient. The unfortunate reality is that nobody is really doing much with that data.  

"Latest research in sleep physiology has revealed the importance of sleep in our lives. Physicians now know that sleep is an active, dynamic state that is critical to our normal motor and cognitive function. However, this knowledge has not translated to measurable outcomes in our ability to diagnose and treat sleep disorders timely and effectively. I believe that technology enabled by clinical interoperability and data analytics is the key to improving awareness about sleep disorders and patient care.

Santa Clara, CA – May 18, 2017: Somnoware, a leading provider of digital health technology, announces a new CPAP dispensing feature that allows sleep labs and physicians to independently dispense CPAP devices and supplies, such as machines, filters, tubing, and masks. Using this feature, physicians can quickly place DME orders, and sleep labs can dispense the devices. Device registration for daily usage data is automated, and a DME order is created for each patient.

"My name is Raghu Kotha and I'm a Senior Product Manager at Somnoware. I've been working within the life sciences and healthcare domain for the past decade, solving complex data and process challenges through creating innovative products that are simple to use. I believe that this is the era of developing innovative technologies and making data-driven decisions to significantly improve patient care and outcomes management. 

My name is William Dahl, and I’m a Product Manager at Somnoware, working to close the loop in sleep care. My longstanding passion is to help patients with chronic illnesses by empowering the healthcare ecosystem through improved diagnostic and treatment modalities. This passion stems from witnessing my grandmother struggle with a chronic illness for over a decade before being diagnosed, only to be left with limited treatment options and multiple comorbid conditions.

Santa Clara, CA – April 28, 2017: Somnoware, a leading provider of digital health technology, is pleased to announce the integration of Microsoft^® Word^™ Online, which enables physicians to create and edit their interpretation reports. This solution greatly improves the user experience, since it streamlines the reporting process and provides a familiar interface that does not require additional training to use.
