Home Sleep Diagnostics Made Easy

Sleep disorders are the new age epidemic. Millions of Americans suffer from some form of sleep disorder that varies from not getting enough sleep, being unable to go back to sleep, waking up multiple times during sleep, to more complicated, life-threatening conditions like sleep apnea. The correlation of undiagnosed sleep disorders with other high risk and costly diseases is further stressing the healthcare system. Yet diagnosing sleep disorders in traditional clinical or hospital settings alone can be expensive, time-consuming, and disruptive for the patients. Addressing the sleep disorder epidemic with meaningful progress requires innovative technology, improved patient workflows and solutions that go beyond the four walls of a traditional facility or clinic. It is evident that the best way to go about diagnosing and treating sleep disorders is through direct home based and patient focused solutions. However, bridging the gap between traditional services options and the new age telehealth and remote diagnostics healthcare landscape continues to be a challenge, leaving a growing population of undiagnosed sleep disorder patients. To this end, Watermark Medical is focused on bridging such gap and leading the sleep market with innovative and convenient home and remote patient direct services solutions to the sleep disorder market.

“We are focused on solving America’s sleep problem by expanding and improving diagnostic services offerings to the under-served sleep disorder market,” quotes Jack Fiedor, President and CFO of Watermark Medical. Since its inception in 2008, the company has been pioneers in advancing services in the home sleep testing (HST) market, focusing initially at enabling physicians and clinic providers to integrate HST services into their patient base. They made the access to and diagnosis of sleep disorders simpler and more comfortable through effective methods that can be administered either through a traditional physician, dental and clinic office, an employer groups or a patient direct program. Watermark offers its proprietary FDA approved HST technology system called ARES, which is easy to use and clinically validated.

It is designed to be worn on the patients’ forehead in the comfort of their own home, can work with any sleeping posture and will instruct the patient when it needs adjustment through its simple audio instructions. Furthermore, Watermark’s remote diagnostic technology can be used by the patient for up to three consecutive nights and collects numerous channels of data instrumental in the effective diagnose of patients through a national network of boarded sleep physician specialists. Not only is the diagnostic test more cost-effective for patients, but it also allows for the easy interpretation of results, thus allowing physicians to devote more time to patient care. “We are a lot more than just a hardware device and a software solution platform, we are a Platform as a Service(PaaS), as well as an extension of the physician’s office,” added Greg Poulos, COO and CIO of Watermark.

Watermark is working on a rollout of the next-gen version of its proprietary ARES device as well as enhancements to its virtual platform to extend its services offerings. The Company has solidified its leading market position as an extension of the physicians’ office and employer groups for home sleep diagnostics and since inception has performed in excess of 1 Million home sleep tests on its existing platform. And the Company continues to develop innovative solutions and is expanding its reach with telehealth and direct to patient models to reach the extensive and under-served sleep disorder market.
