ResMed (NYSE: RMD), the global leader in medical devices and
digital connected care for the diagnosis, treatment and management
of sleep apnea, teamed up with the nationally syndicated Dr. Oz
Show on a campaign to foster better public understanding of sleep
health. The campaign includes a national sleep study, launched on
October 20, 2016, to determine America's Sleep Score. More
than one million nights of anonymous sleep data will be gathered,
to assess the nation's sleep fitness, while determining a national
score.
"Sleep is the single most under-appreciated problem affecting
our overall health and remains a top queried area for help on
search engines," said Dr. Mehmet Oz,
host, The Dr. Oz Show. "We're excited to work with ResMed over the
next several months to assess the sleep habits of our country, and
will announce the results live at the Digital Health Summit at CES,
the launch pad for innovation and technology that has changed the
world. Understanding public health patterns lets us build new
pathways to wellness and we can really move the needle with sleep
insights and advice."
