Aeroflow Healthcare, a nationwide medical equipment provider, expanded its sleep apnea treatment solutions to add remote testing and telemedicine services.
Aeroflow is contracting with Itamar Medical, a medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of noninvasive medical devices, solutions and a digital health platform to aid in the diagnosis of respiratory sleep disorders.
The relationship is designed to increase patient access to home sleep testing using the WatchPATtm ONE single use device for sleep apnea, allowing patients to manage their sleep apnea treatment and improve their health outcomes as patients and providers alike are asked to stay home to slow the spread of COVID-19.
Aeroflow will facilitate telehealth consultations with board-certified physicians for sleep data interpretations and diagnosis, while Aeroflow respiratory therapists will provide in-home and telehealth respiratory therapy set-ups.
“Implementing telehealth services enables our patients to get the highest quality care possible during a very difficult time,” said Michelle Worley, director of clinical operations at Aeroflow Healthcare’s Sleep division. “Patient care continues to be the top priority of our clinical staff, and this expansion allows them to continue serving patients uninterrupted.”
