SAN DIEGO (December 6, 2017)—ResMed has been named a 2017 “Medtech Company of the Year” finalist by MD+DI, a news resource in the medical device and diagnostic industry.
“ResMed has made strides this year in encouraging patient adherence with treatment and easing their ability to track progress,” MD+DI stated in an announcement, citing ResMed’s milestone of capturing one billion nights of monitored sleep apnea therapy and a CHEST-published study showing ResMed’s self-monitoring app myAir can help boost therapy adherence to 87 percent.
“ResMed has made strides to improve comfort, too,” MD+DI said, touting the company’s newly launched AirTouch F20 full face mask with memory foam cushion and AirMini, the world’s smallest positive airway pressure (PAP) device.
