   Not cranky at all :) We appreciate the thoughtful review, and we'll make these changes to clarify (including the manufacturer, the 2-night study, and the reporting). Thanks!

   We'll be offering CPAP in a few months. We're excited to offer a range of options as different devices work well for different patients depending on a number of factors including the severity of their sleep apnea and their lifesty

   For many patients, getting the required referrals and finding an available sleep physician can be a barrier to diagnosis. If additional follow-up is required, we connect patients to local sleep physicians in their area for in-lab studies. W

   Thanks for taking the time to review our site! We'll add more information about the process and more detail about the products. We completely agree that coaching and support are necessary for continued adherence, and we'll be addi

   Currently, ~60% of studies are being done in lab. We agree that the convenience of at-home sleep tests makes testing significantly more accessible.

   We'll be offering CPAP soon. No one solution works for all patients, so we want to offer a range of options.

   We appreciate this feedback. We'll update the language and indicate that CPAP is coming soon.

    There still seems to be a shortage of roughly 90k units per month. It's a really tough situation.

    These are passive devices. Some examples include Thornton Adjustable Positioner (TAP) devices, SomnoDent, Prosomnus, and others.

    Thanks, love what you've built at AirMed. Price transparency is so important and often difficult to find.

    Given the global shortage, it can be difficult to get machines right now. We're adding CPAP in a few months, and we're also offering CPAP alternatives to help people get care.

    Great point. There's definitely a lack of coordinated care between dental and medical providers that we're looking to solve.

    CPAP is the gold standard in treatment, and we'll be supporting it in the next few months. But it doesn't work for everyone, so we're also offering validated alternatives as options for patients who aren't interested in

    I'm sorry to hear that it's taking so long to get treatment! Through virtual consults and at-home testing along with CPAP alternatives, we're looking to help improve access.

    We've heard great things from patients about the VA program for sleep apnea, and we're looking to incorporate best practices from their published studies into our care protocols.

    Unfortunately, getting a diagnosis can be difficult. The current wait time for in-lab sleep studies is 3-6 months. We want to increase access to care for the 80% of sleep apnea sufferers who are currently undiagnosed. There are a range of t

    We're looking to support the full range of treatment options including CPAP alternatives. Our goal is to offer convenient care, and we'll be adding asynchronous options to streamline the process whenever possible.

    If you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea, you should be periodically checking in with a sleep coach, respiratory therapist or physician as appropriate. And that should be informed by objective data whenever possible. We are establishing

    Absolutely - there is no good reason a patient should be blocked from their data. It is rather surprising that it is common for resellers to block patient facing views of their data that manufacturers have engineered into their products.

    There are a range of treatment options out there, and we focus on FDA-cleared devices that are supported by clinical efficacy studies.
