SAN DIEGO, Sept. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ResMed (NYSE: RMD, ASX: RMD), the world’s leading health technology company focused on sleep, breathing, and care delivered in the home, today announced new patient-centric products designed to enhance the therapy journey for sleep apnea patients. These innovations integrate with digital wearable devices and generative artificial intelligence designed to deliver a more personalized sleep health experience and improve overall health.
ResMed’s 2024 Global Sleep Survey found that 44% of Americans get fewer than three good nights of sleep each week, significantly impacting their quality of life. With the rising popularity of digital wearables like smartwatches and health trackers, individuals now have access to data-driven insights that empower them to be active participants in improving their health. Sleep health has become a key focus in this evolving landscape, with more than half (54%) of respondents from a recent ResMed survey expressing interest in purchasing a wearable device with sleep-tracking capabilities.
Digital wearables give consumers instant access to sleep and other critical health insights, giving them valuable information to collaborate with their healthcare providers. ResMed’s latest innovations are designed with users at the forefront, offering personalized insights into sleep patterns and the flexibility to help people stay on track with sleep therapy, no matter where life takes them.
