In a time where we see growth in awareness of sleep health and the demand for sleep studies continues to expand, Nox Medical works to pave the way for increased access to sleep studies. While polysomnography remains the gold standard, PSG studies’ associated cost, time, and complexity can be rigid. In our upcoming three-part webinar series titled See Everything at Once, we look at the state of polysomnography sleep studies and what the future may hold for attended in-laboratory and unattended ambulatory studies. In each webinar session, Nox Medical will team up with leading researchers in the field of sleep to focus on an urgent, universal challenge we all face as an industry — to increase accessibility to good sleep diagnostics.
The third and final session will feature a conversation with Seema Khosla, MD, FCCP, FAASM, about the future of sleep medicine. The sleep world has experienced more disruptions in the last two years than ever before. While insurance payers have shifted testing largely into the home and have simplified the diagnosis of OSA, there remains a domain that is being left in the margins – assessment of sleep itself. During the session, Dr. Khosla will talk about what the future may hold for sleep medicine and look to answer pressing questions such as is there still value in assessing sleep architecture? Should there be a shift back to polysomnography? Will consumer sleep technology be able to bridge this gap? Are there other innovative solutions?
