Happy Sleep, provider of the FDA cleared Happy Ring, has officially announced a partnership with Dentulu, the leading dental service provider for Telehealth Dental Services, to create a turnkey solution for sleep apnea diagnosis and treatment for millions of patients nationwide.
According to certain reports, the stated partnership will allow Happy Sleep to create a first-of-a-kind integrated sleep apnea solution, which packs together custom oral appliance therapy, along with CPAP and other treatment options currently available. Here, Dentulu’s network of licensed dentists will effectively provide Happy Sleep patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) safe and effective access to FDA cleared mandibular advancement oral appliances.
“Happy Sleep Is Dedicated to Enhancing Sleep Health by Combining Advanced Technology with Personalized Care,” said Dr. Dustin Freckleton, Ceo at Happy Sleep. “Through This Partnership with Dentulu, We Are Expanding Our Reach to Help More Patients Receive High-quality Sleep Apnea Care Under the Supervision of Licensed Dentists Nationwide Without Leaving Their Homes.”
More on the same would reveal how this partnership also enhances Dentulu’s mission to provide access of nationwide sleep apnea evaluations, diagnosis, therapy, and remote patient monitoring through a fully integrated and patient-centered approach. Complementing the same is how both testing and oral appliances are covered by most insurance companies, something which makes OSA treatment affordable.
To understand the significance of such a development, we must take into account how sleep apnea happens to be a disorder that currently affects more than 30 million Americans. In case that wasn’t enough, then we ought to mention how nearly 80% of the cases moderate and severe obstructive sleep apnea cases still go undiagnosed.
Making this all the more serious is a fact that, if left untreated, sleep apnea can lead to severe health complications, including hypertension, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, cognitive impairments and an increase in rates of cancer. Fortunately enough, Happy Sleep’s turnkey solution will try and prevent this very risk.
Talk about the given partnership on a slightly deeper level, we begin from its promise to deliver at-home sleep testing. You see, Happy Sleep provides FDA-approved sleep testing kits that patients can use in the comfort of their homes for a thorough evaluation over five nights. Such an approach is basically designed to eliminate the barriers associated with traditional in-clinic testing, and therefore, enhance accessibility.
Next up, there is the prospect of virtual consultations with sleep specialists. Hence, patients can come expecting a facility to schedule online consultations with board-certified sleep doctors, who then review the test results and develop personalized treatment plans so to simplify the diagnosis process and ensure timely care.
“Our mission at Dentulu has always been to leverage technology and our nationwide network of licensed dentists to make dental care more accessible and convenient,” said Dr. Arash Hakhamian, CEO of Dentulu. “By partnering with Happy Sleep, we are making it easier for patients to receive the care they need at their convenience while integrating cutting-edge technology for enhanced diagnostics and personalized treatments.”
Moving on, the partnership in focus also delivers at your disposal an assortment of comprehensive treatment options. This translates to how patients can come expecting an assortment of personalized treatment plans, plans which may include CPAP therapy or custom-made oral appliances.
Finally, our last piece of highlight is provided by the collaboration’s focus on remote patient monitoring and ongoing support. To expand upon that, it must be mentioned that the partnership will ensure the availability of continuous monitoring through remote patient management, helping patients stay on track with their treatment plans and providing timely intervention when needed. Enabling this whole arrangement to be even better is Dentulu’s integrated platform which supports communication between patients and their care teams to realize compliance and efficacy.
“The future of healthcare is not within the four walls of a distant hospital, but instead in a patient’s own home,” said Freckleton. “There’s nothing quite like resting in your own bed. And nowhere is this better understood than in sleep medicine. We’re thrilled to be ushering in a new era of healthcare, starting with sleep medicine.”
