Tackling Health Disparities: Earn Continuing Education

Learning Objectives: Describe the concept of “personalized population health” including an example about average sleep duration; gain perspective on the advantages of collecting real-world sleep and health data versus only collecting data in the lab; gain an overview of “digital twin” technology and how it could be used to personalize sleep therapies.

Learning Objectives: List several factors propelling the development of a new generation of smart oral appliances for sleep apnea; explain potential advantages of a sensor measuring sleep-breathing parameters located in the mouth versus elsewhere on the body; describe advancements toward an “APAP for oral appliances.”

Learning Objectives: List key updates to the AASM’s pediatric-specific guidelines for the multiple sleep latency test; understand why physicians are to use clinical judgement in whether sleep-disordered breathing should be treated in children before an MSLT versus the recommendation that SDB treatment be required for adults; give examples of modifications that could be made for special pediatric populations.

Learning Objectives: List factors driving the rise of HL7 integration in sleep labs; explain the advantages of HL7 in the sleep lab versus other data transfer methods; understand obstacles to HL7 integration in sleep labs.

Learning Objectives: List ways to make appointments more efficient for sleep apnea patients; describe ways to streamline the third-party payor process for neurostimulators for sleep apnea; explain the key findings of a University of Michigan Health pilot in which neurostimulator candidates experienced DISE and implantation during the same operating room session.
