Sleep apnea is not just a health issue but rather a business problem, costing billions in lost productivity, increased healthcare claims, absenteeism, and on-the-job accidents. According to a study by Frost & Sullivan, the annual economic burden of undiagnosed sleep apnea among U.S. adults is approximately $149.6 billion, with over $86.9 billion in lost productivity and $6.5 billion in workplace accidents. This staggering number is indicative of the alarming lack of concern and gravity surrounding the medical condition.
WhisperSom℠, co-founded by Michael G. Nathans, is providing a potential solution to tackle sleep apnea, a breathing disorder that carries cumulative health risks, some even fatal. Its cutting–edge initiative is rooted in helping employers provide their employees with efficient and economical solutions for sleep apnea, potentially reducing the financial burden on healthcare stakeholders.
