GEM HEALTH Partners with Sleep Number
GEM HEALTH is thrilled to announce an exciting new partnership with Sleep Number Corporation aimed at revolutionizing how individuals manage sleep health, particularly for those at risk of sleep apnea. Their flagship product, GEM SLEEP, will now be available through Sleep Number's innovative BreatheIQ digital app, which provides an effortless connection for users seeking help.
About GEM SLEEP and Its Benefits
GEM SLEEP stands out as a premium offering that provides comprehensive virtual care for individuals who might be suffering from obstructive sleep apnea. This service conducts clinical evaluations, diagnoses, and setups for treatment entirely within a virtual environment, eliminating the need for patients to visit clinics physically. With an estimated 80% of individuals with obstructive sleep apnea remaining undiagnosed, GEM HEALTH aims to make a positive impact. Untreated sleep apnea can lead to severe health issues including stroke, diabetes, and heart disease, making this initiative even more crucial.
A Seamless User Experience
Through this partnership, users of Sleep Number's BreatheIQ app will gain easy access to GEM SLEEP and can begin their journey towards better health without cumbersome processes. The BreatheIQ app is designed to help users track their snoring and understand how snoring could potentially signal breathing irregularities, meaning that users can take actionable steps toward improving their sleep health.
Expert Insights on the Partnership
Brian Sauer, the Founder and CEO of GEM HEALTH, shares his insights on this advancement, stating, "Technological innovations like BreatheIQ provide essential support for raising awareness of chronic sleep conditions. It’s vital that as people recognize these conditions, they have clear pathways to obtain appropriate medical care. Our collaboration with Sleep Number enhances the options available to BreatheIQ users, paving the way for them to access much-needed support."
Streamlined Care Process
The approach taken by GEM SLEEP drastically reduces the time it takes for patients to receive care—from months down to mere days. Moreover, GEM SLEEP services are in-network with health plans covering millions of Americans, thus ensuring broad access to essential care services at a lower cost for both patients and insurers.
