In a world focused on productivity and performance, one of the greatest threats to workforce safety and efficiency is hiding in plain sight: sleep deprivation. It’s not just about tired eyes or groggy mornings. Chronic fatigue is driving accidents, inflating healthcare costs, and undermining workplace performance — all while going largely unaddressed.

In a nation grappling with chronic disease, mental health challenges, and skyrocketing healthcare costs, one crucial factor is often overlooked: sleep health. Despite mounting evidence that sleep is essential for overall well-being, it remains a neglected component of public health.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a significant public health concern, now ranked as the sixth leading cause of death in the United States, according to the CDC's 2022 report on leading causes of death. Despite its devastating impact, awareness and early diagnosis of COPD remain critically low, leaving millions of Americans without the care they need.

The sleep health sector is undergoing a transformation, driven by the convergence of consumer innovation and clinical care. As we see new technologies and approaches emerge, the demand for accessible, effective, and validated solutions has never been greater.

The recent shake-up in the Medicare Advantage market is more than just a reshuffling of plans and members—it’s a pivotal moment for regional insurers and healthcare innovation.
