LOS ANGELES—Amino Health, a digital health care guidance platform, announced a partnership with GEM SLEEP, a virtual sleep apnea care provider offering comprehensive, evidence-based solutions for patients nationwide. This collaboration will enable Amino Health members to connect with GEM SLEEP through the Amino Health platform, expanding access to in-network, sleep apnea treatment.
"Sleep apnea is a serious but often overlooked health condition that impacts 30 million+ people, and of those, less than 20% have been diagnosed,” said Brian Sauer, CEO of GEM SLEEP. "By integrating with Amino Health’s platform, we can help more individuals access the care they need to improve their sleep, overall health, and quality of life."
Through the partnership, qualifying Amino Health members can now:
- Access GEM SLEEP’s virtual diagnostic and treatment services for sleep apnea, including at-home sleep tests and CPAP therapy
- Connect with board-certified sleep specialists for diagnosis and treatment recommendations
- Receive comprehensive treatment from home, eliminating the need for lengthy wait times at traditional sleep clinics
- Receive high-tech, high-touch support from the GEM SLEEP coaching program
Research has shown that untreated sleep apnea increases the risk of serious health conditions, including heart disease, stroke and diabetes, making early and effective treatment critical. The partnership comes at a time when sleep apnea is increasingly recognized as a major public health issue. Studies estimate that over 30 million Americans suffer from sleep apnea, yet 80% remain undiagnosed.
"Making high-quality health care more accessible is core to our mission at Amino Health," said John Asalone, CEO of Amino Health. "By partnering with GEM SLEEP, we’re helping our members access evidence-based sleep apnea treatment that is both effective and convenient. This collaboration represents our commitment to guiding people to affordable, in-network care that truly improves their health."
