Southern California Pulmonary and Sleep Disorders Medical Center expands their SleepTM telemedicine service to increase access to diagnosis and management of sleep apnea.
-- SleepTM, a telemedicine service designed to expand access to comprehensive care for patients with sleep apnea and other sleep-related breathing disorders, delivers remote consultation, ongoing monitoring, and personalized treatment planning through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. The new initiative addresses common barriers that have historically limited Californians' access to specialized sleep medicine services.

Sleep apnea, particularly obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), affects a substantial number of adults in the United States. Recent estimates suggest that more than 39 million American adults are living with OSA, a condition marked by repeated pauses in breathing during sleep that can contribute to daytime fatigue, cardiovascular strain, and reduced quality of life if left untreated. This prevalence underscores the need for accessible evaluation and management strategies, especially for individuals who face geographic or scheduling challenges in obtaining in-person care, which Southern California Pulmonary and Sleep Disorders Medical Center now fulfills.
Telemedicine has emerged as an effective way to deliver specialized sleep medicine, enabling patients to engage with clinicians in real time from their homes or other private settings. This approach reduces the need for travel, minimizes time away from work or family responsibilities, and expands geographic reach for those in underserved or rural regions where sleep specialists are scarce. In addition to convenience, secure telehealth platforms facilitate ongoing communication between patients and providers, support data sharing from sleep tracking devices, and allow clinicians to adjust treatment plans with continued oversight.
Southern California Pulmonary and Sleep Disorders Medical Center's SleepTM initiative incorporates these capabilities to provide comprehensive telemedicine support for patients concerned about sleep apnea symptoms. Through the service, individuals can request appointments, participate in virtual consultations with board-certified sleep medicine specialists, and engage in follow-up care that integrates self-reported sleep patterns and data from wearable sleep trackers. By leveraging technology to deliver personalized care, the program aims to make routine evaluation and management of sleep apnea more accessible, particularly for adults whose daily obligations make traditional daytime appointments difficult to attend.
As demand for flexible healthcare solutions grows, remote platforms like SleepTM represent an important step in expanding access to sleep medicine evaluations, promoting earlier diagnosis, and facilitating long-term management for patients with sleep apnea.
