Somnoware Healthcare Systems: Transforming Sleep Health Management

CIO Vendor As the healthcare industry turns its focus towards enabling quality patient care and improving clinical outcomes, providers are now relying on healthcare technology companies to develop an end-to-end solution for this endeavor. Apart from the benefit of enabling simplified and automated workflows and processes, a key value-add from this development is in the field of analytics and data mining. Using this technology, critical information and inferences can be extracted from the huge clinical and operational databases.

Specifically, in sleeping, which may seem to be one of the most natural and easiest states to be in,there is a large amount of people who struggle with it. One common, but serious disorder is sleep apnea. Despite having an estimated 10 million cases per year, sleep apnea,like many diseases, is often taken lightly or completely ignored. However, it has serious comorbidities, such as cardiac disease, hypertension, and stroke, associated with it. Leading researchers believe that 92 percent of obstructive sleep apnea(OSA)in the U.S. remains unmanaged, costing the healthcare system over $90 billion a year.

Innovative, Cloud-Based Platform for Physicians and Sleep Centers
Somnoware Healthcare Systems has embarked on a mission to equip the sleep industry and its key stakeholders to successfully manage all sleep ailments, while drastically reducing the associated healthcare costs. In line with this mission, Somnoware has put forth a robust sleep healthcare management platform. This cloud-based SaaS solution equips physicians with actionable data and predictive insights by automating sleep testing processes. Subath Kamalasan, Founder and CEO of Somnoware, states “We offer a disruptive solution that accelerates diagnosis, increases CPAP compliance, and supports end to-end patient care management.”

Somnoware’s Platform Improves Care Management
Physicians are greatly benefitted by the Somnoware platform’s ability to accelerate the time to diagnosis, which is achieved through its flagship workflow management solution that centralizes and streamlines all sleep center operations. This solution enables staff to schedule in lab and home tests across various facilities, as well as to Quickly configure sleep devices and track inventory. Physicians also have easy access to test results and CPAP adherence data online. They can read diagnosis and titration reports, and implement strategies for increasing therapy adherence.

A key component of this platform is the Somnoware Sleep Device Interface (SDI) plug in that enables quick sleep device integration. According to Subath, “With this platform, initializing devices and importing studies are just one-click operations. This plug-in streamlines the user experience when conducting home sleep studies and aids with home sleep testing (HST) device inventory management. After asleep study is completed, the plug-in automatically uploads study data to the Somnoware cloud and the device becomes available for the next patient. Studies are imported automatically without requiring any user input or barcode scanning, which minimizes potential typing and device assignment errors. When a report is ready for interpretation, the physician receives an email notification.”

Adding to the robustness of this platform is the new predictive analytics feature that enhances the physician’s ability to provide patientcare and improve therapy adherence. This feature, which is in the care management module,leverages predictive machine learning to enable sleep physicians to estimate or predict a patient’s likelihood of therapy compliance even before a patient is initiated on continuous positive air pressure (CPAP)or other sleep apne a therapy, thus enabling the physician to intervene accordingly.
