ResMed

As 2024 draws to a close, all of us at ResMed want to express a heartfelt thanks to our customers, partners, and all those in our healthcare community. Without you, we would not be able to deliver on our promise to help millions of people around the world sleep better, breathe better, and live higher quality lives in out-of-hospital care.

At ResMed, we always want what is best for patients. That is why we welcome news of the FDA approval of Eli Lilly’s Zepbound (tirzepatide) for the treatment of moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in adults with obesity. (https://lnkd.in/gmCmvxhU). As I have discussed before (https://lnkd.in/gNVYmRVf), patients benefit most when weight management is used in combination with CPAP therapy and this approval will provide that opportunity for many patients living with OSA.     However, weight management is not a replacement for CPAP therapy for patients with obesity-related moderate to severe sleep apnea. CPAP remains the gold standard for any patient with moderate-to-severe OSA and provides immediate relief to patients from the onset of treatment.      We value this opportunity to increase awareness of the importance of sleep health and expect this news will create opportunities for ResMed to treat and manage more patients across a continuum of therapy solutions.

Our CEO, Michael "Mick" Farrell, recently spoke with ABC News Australia to share some compelling insights: People prescribed GLP-1 and PAP therapy have 10.8 absolute percentage points more likelihood or propensity to commence positive airway pressure therapy. This breakthrough underscores the important connection between innovative treatments and better adherence to sleep therapy.

At ResMed, we proudly stand with the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) in advocating for permanent coverage and adequate reimbursement for telehealth services. With Congress considering an extension of telehealth flexibilities expiring on December 31, 2024, the time to act is now. These flexibilities have expanded the range of telehealth services available to Medicare beneficiaries, making a meaningful difference in healthcare delivery. As a leader in sleep health, ResMed is committed to driving this extension forward to ensure continued progress in care accessibility and quality. Why Telehealth is Critical for Sleep Medicine: ✅ Access: Reaching patients in areas with limited provider availability. ✅ Efficiency & Safety: Enhancing clinician workflows and prioritizing patient safety. ✅ Health Equity: Bridging gaps in underserved communities. ✅ Treatment Adherence: Leveraging remote monitoring to improve outcomes in conditions like CBT-I and OSA. Telehealth isn’t just a convenience—it’s a catalyst for delivering high-quality, patient-centered sleep care. To secure its future, we call on legislators, policymakers, clinicians, and patients to work together and advocate for the permanent adoption of telehealth solutions. Together, we can ensure that telehealth remains a cornerstone of accessible, effective, and equitable sleep care for all. #Telehealth #SleepHealth #HealthEquity #HealthcareInnovation #AASM #ResMed https://lnkd.in/gRXbfmG7
