SleepImage has partnered with Melbourne, Australia-based Bird Healthcare on an exclusive distribution agreement to bring its home sleep testing technology to Australia and New Zealand.
SleepImage offers a simple, finger-worn sensor that streams physiological data collected during sleep to a mobile app. This approach allows for cloud-based analysis, with results typically available to clinicians within minutes of the patient completing their sleep test.
“The SleepImage System’s cloud-based and highly validated analysis of sleep quality and sleep-disordered breathing perfectly addresses the growing demand for scalable, efficient, and precise home sleep testing solutions,” says Tim Boult, director of Bird Healthcare, in a release.
New Partnership
The collaboration leverages Bird Healthcare’s 30-year track record in respiratory and sleep medicine. “Bird Healthcare has established expertise in delivering world-class medical innovations which aligns perfectly with our mission to transform home sleep testing,” says Bogi Palsson, CEO of SleepImage, in a release. “Their deep understanding of the Australian and New Zealand markets makes them the ideal partner to bring our technology to healthcare providers and patients in these regions.”
The SleepImage System’s cardiopulmonary coupling-based analysis is supported by over 100 peer-reviewed papers. The system, which combines ease of use and validated analysis, is expected to increase access to high-quality sleep diagnostics, potentially leading to earlier detection and treatment of sleep disorders.
To mark the launch of this agreement, members of the SleepImage leadership team joined Bird Healthcare at the Sleep DownUnder Conference. Attendees included Palsson, Solveig Magnusdottir, chief marketing office, and Patrick Burns, vice president of international markets. Their presence at the conference provided an opportunity for healthcare professionals to learn more about the SleepImage technology and its applications in sleep diagnostics.
