New resources available for patients with sleep apnea on MyApnea

The MyApnea team, in partnership with interdisciplinary stakeholders, including patients, providers, and community members, has just launched a new set of resources that are developed by patients for patients.

Our team has worked with sleep apnea patients across the US and asked them what they wanted to know about sleep apnea symptoms, treatment options, success strategies, and more. To answer some common questions, we developed a series of information sheets. The resources cover common questions and a variety of topics relating to sleep apnea, including:

• COVID-19: How to stay healthy
• What is sleep apnea
• Sleep studies
• What is PAP?
• Getting started with PAP
• Keys to success with PAP
• PAP masks
• Cleaning PAP equipment
• Troubleshooting your PAP
• Questions to ask about your sleep apnea

We hope you find these tools helpful and we welcome your input via the survey questions at the bottom of each resource.

A big thank you to Dr. Bertisch and her team of patients and others who developed such a wonderful set of resources for patients with sleep apnea. The MyApnea team would love your feedback on these and any suggestions for improvement. Note that it is easiest to open the pdf version but if you click the window you can also provide feedback there.

Glad to see new resources posted.
