Lowering Costs And Improving Outcomes: A Virtual-Care Sleep Solution

Lowering Costs and Improving Outcomes: A Virtual-Care Sleep Solution

Losing sleep is dangerous and expensive. Roughly 20% of U.S. adults suffer from insomnia or sleep apnea, costing approximately $246 billion in healthcare and almost $500 billion in lost productivity annually. Traditional sleep care management offers a complicated path to diagnosis and treatment of sleep apnea, ensuring that only a small percentage of those suffering from poor sleep are treated. Insomnia is frequently treated with prescription drugs, creating a reliance on short-term solutions and increasing the risk of addiction without addressing the underlying issue. Our mission is to make a positive impact on the lives of people living with sleep disorders by simplifying the complex process from diagnosis to treatment.

 

What is Better Night?

BetterNight is a comprehensive sleep health solution that lowers the cost of care while improving long-term patient outcomes. Our approach is simple, yet powerful: We offer a direct and convenient path to diagnosis and treatment for sleep disorders. Through quick and accurate screening, customer-focused education, a digital therapeutic feature, cognitive behavioral therapy, telemedicine, remote patient monitoring, and an escalation pathway to quickly and effectively funnel severe sleep conditions to the proper resource, we’re able to reduce costs and put patients on a path of better sleep.

 

Lowering the Cost of Care

BetterNight offers a high-quality, patient-centric approach to comprehensive sleep solutions, helping people save money while improving patient outcomes. By combining validated, evidence-based strategies and advanced technology, we can quickly and accurately snapshot sleep health, cutting out unnecessary office visits and specialist referrals. We offer telehealth, in-home testing, and remote patient monitoring for consultation, diagnosis, and treatment of sleep apnea to ensure patients stay on therapy. Home testing and remote patient monitoring for sleep apnea are widely adopted, approved by Medicare, and recognized by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. For insomnia, we utilize digital Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBTi), which has proven to be as effective as in-person therapy. There are no in-lab costs for diagnosis or treatment, resulting in a 30-68% reduction in overall healthcare costs and an improved patient experience. Our unique combination of sleep health experience, evidence-based solutions, and cutting-edge technology lowers costs while creating a best-in-class experience for those suffering from sleep disorders.

 

A Patient-Centric Approach

By placing a premium on care and convenience, the BetterNight approach puts the patient first. Patients can receive diagnosis and treatment without ever leaving home and can begin therapy within as little as ten days, compared to months with traditional sleep management solutions. Beyond diagnosis and initial treatment, BetterNight provides ongoing coaching and support. With a more direct, customer service-focused path to treatment, patients more frequently and easily commit to a treatment plan that ensures they will get the sleep they need to stay healthy.

Improved Outcomes

Research shows that patients will stick with a treatment plan that is customized to their needs, and we achieve 99% customer satisfaction. With the BetterNight approach, patient adherence to sleep apnea treatment is 67% vs. 33% for traditional sleep management solutions. Of those suffering from insomnia, 92% see their symptoms resolved. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that people experiencing sleep insufficiency are more likely to suffer from chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and depression, as well as cancer, increased mortality, and reduced quality of life and productivity. Increased sleep over the long-term reduces the impact and occurrence of these conditions, further reducing healthcare costs and improving the quality of life for patients and their families.
