Ann: ResApp Announces SleepCheck, a Sleep Apnoea Screening App, page-444

Thanks, much appreciated.

Feel like there is substantial opportunity in this space and not just in the over 40's / 50's age group (providing the chosen business model and partnerships are correct).

The concept of OSA and associated health impacts are being discussed by younger adults these days too. Below is a link to a recent piece on the triple J Hack program (skip to a little over the half way point to get to the sleep study content).

it follows one of their journo's undertaking a sleep study.

Hope resapp / sleepcheck can help screen and subsequently have OSA diagnosed, without the need to go through the cumbersome sleep study process.

Further - hope the algorithm can eventually be trained to screen young children and infants. My daughter had large adenoids and tonsils which meant the first two years of her life where quite exhausting for both bubs and parents.

Once identified (which Sleepcheck could no doubt do (frequent snoring signature + breathing pauses + questions regarding night sweats, other symptoms etc.) = high risk *go see GP and/or ENT specialist regarding sleep apnea). She has been a new kid.

Screening could be done at key intervals during child development in a similar fashion to vaccinations, height, weight percentiles etc.

if diagnosis and intervention occurs early, then no doubt better health outcomes for child and parents and potentially better early childhood education outcomes for child.

Food for thought anyway.....
