One billion nights of sleep data have been downloaded using ResMed's remote patient monitoring platform, AirView, according to an announcement by the company that called it a new record in digital connected care. "One billion isn't just a big number. It's a major milestone that holds great promise for future research and the treatment of sleep apnea and other respiratory conditions through connected health tools," said Atul Malhotra, MD, chief of the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine and director of Sleep Medicine at UC San Diego Health. "We are about to enter a new phase of sleep research and sleep understanding," said Malhotra, also immediate past president of the American Thoracic Society, "using big data to improve patients' well-being." Meaningful digital health solutions did not exist in respiratory medicine until ResMed led the market with 100% cloud connected respiratory medical devices.
