Episode 012 — A New Opportunity for Sleep Providers

In this special edition of the HME Business Podcast, Executive Editor David Kopf interviews with Dr. David White, chief medical officer of Philips Sleep & Respiratory Care to examine a specific sleep therapy condition, positional sleep apnea, which deserves some special attention. Roughly 30 to 40 percent of apnea patients have the condition, and they can have twice as many apneas and hypopneas when they’re on their back. Dr. White discusses a new device that aims to help those patients manage the condition, which could open up new care and business opportunities for providers.
