Sleep medicine is a burgeoning specialty in healthcare due to the rising number of people who suffer from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and other sleep health conditions. While there are technologically advanced Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) devices available and highly skilled sleep physicians and therapists working in the field, there is no coordinated, comprehensive system that allows for transparency and alignment between patients and their medical team. Physicians often refer their at-risk patients to a sleep specialist who facilitates an in-lab diagnostic study and, in turn, refers them to a durable medical equipment provider. These disconnected efforts can lead to treatment plans that extend over months at costs ranging from $4000-$8000. The result is a significant portion of patients fall out of the process before even reaching treatment or shortly after. 

The statistics are equally grim. According to the American Sleep Apnea Association, there are 25 million American adults (or 20% of the population) who suffer from sleep apnea, yet 80% go undiagnosed. Sleep Review Magazine reported that compliance, defined as using a CPAP device as prescribed, can be as low as 29%. Compliance is critical, not only to physicians following their patient's treatment plan but also to insurers who look at usage data and to employers of those who drive or fly for a living.

BetterNight has created a telehealth solution that makes treating sleep apnea and other sleep conditions easy, flexible, and affordable. From consulting with a sleep physician to remote patient monitoring, every step of your sleep health journey is as convenient as your nearest mobile device, tablet, or computer. BetterNight's fully integrated treatment plan works in collaboration with your doctor, so communication is coordinated and seamless. With treatment plans taking as little as two weeks and affordably priced as low as $1800 for the entire process.

Betternight's proprietary data analytics software, aptly named Clarity, is unique in the sleep medicine field. At its core, Clarity gathers, merges, and stores data from the CPAP devices and the patient's medical record system. The Clarity system allows BetterNight to create Care Management Reports that detail the management of patient populations and individual patients allowing physicians greater transparency in care. But the heart of Clarity is its ability to assist in creating successful therapeutic outcomes. Clarity identifies all patients that need assistance and prioritizes them based on the amount of behavior change or struggle identified in the CPAP data collected daily. This ensures that our outreach is timely and effective. This "human enabled technology" allows BetterNight's team of highly trained RT, RPSGT, and CCSH sleep coaches to be alerted to usage and connect with their patients in real-time to help motivate and re-educate. This combination of technology and skilled personal coaching sets BetterNight apart and accounts for average compliance rates of 77%.          

"Clarity gives BetterNight vision into the entire patient base. It allows us to make decisions based on data that lead to long-term outcomes for patients. Clarity is the tool that our amazing BetterNight clinicians use to assist in lifelong disease management. It is very effective in producing best-in-class compliance and therapy outcomes." - William Hevener RPGST.
