Diagnosis and treatment of sleep & breathing disorders

Over 40 million Americans suffer from a sleep disorder, and 20 million from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Additionally, OSA is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke and arrhythmias. Watermark Medical markets the WM Sleep Portal and integrated home sleep technology to provide medical professionals a fast, simple and cost effective alternative for the diagnosis and treatment of obstructive sleep apnea.
