In this article, we will explore the benefits of the Good Nidra program and how it is innovating the sleep therapy space.
Sleep apnea is a serious condition that affects millions of people worldwide, causing disruptions in their breathing patterns during sleep. HealthNet Global, a healthcare company, has launched a new program called Good Nidra (Sleep) to help patients manage obstructive sleep apnea. The program provides a comprehensive approach to screening, diagnosis, and treatment, making it easy for patients to improve their sleep quality and treat the condition. Good Nidra uses cutting-edge technology and connected devices to provide comfortable, cost-effective, and efficient therapy to patients suffering from sleep apnea.
Good health and sleep
Good health and sleep are closely related, and research has shown that getting adequate sleep is crucial for maintaining optimal physical and mental health. Over the past few years, there has been a growing interest in understanding the relationship between good health and sleep, and recent studies have highlighted the importance of sleep in promoting overall health and well-being.
Sleep and health problems
One of the key findings of recent research is that lack of sleep is associated with a range of health problems, including an increased risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. For example, a study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association found that people who slept less than six hours per night had a significantly higher risk of developing heart disease compared to those who slept seven to eight hours per night. Similarly, a study published in the journal Sleep found that people who slept less than six hours per night had a higher risk of developing diabetes.
ResMed, a key player in digital health, sleep, and respiratory care, recently, said that 58 percent of Indians consider snoring a sign of good sleep. According to the company, these statistics highlight the fact that these people are unaware that snoring was a potential trigger of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and other sleep-related issues.
In addition to its impact on physical health, sleep also plays a crucial role in maintaining good mental health. Studies have shown that sleep deprivation is associated with an increased risk of depression, anxiety, and other mental health problems. For example, a study published in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry found that people with insomnia were more likely to develop depression than those without insomnia.
HealthNet Global ‘Good Nidra’ Program to Manage Sleep Apnea
HealthNet Global launched the Good Nidra Program in March last year to help patients manage obstructive sleep apnea. One year into the program, more than 10,000 patients accessed the sleep management program to improve their sleep quality and treat the condition. Sleep deprivation is a silent epidemic that can have negative impacts on health, businesses, and economies. The Good Nidra program makes it easy to analyze the sleeping patterns of patients in their comfortable environment, provide continuously monitored treatment using connected technology and ensure healthy sleep for people suffering from Sleep Apnea.
Comprehensive Sleep Program
The Good Nidra sleep program offers doctors and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients a brand-new alternative therapy that is simple, comfortable, efficient, and easy to use. The program covers screening and diagnosis at home or in the hospital using cutting-edge technologically based instruments that are convenient and cost-effective. In addition, a back-end support team including sleep technicians, sleep coaches, and counselors is there to instruct and direct patients at every stage of the treatment program.
More than 7000 Sleep Screenings Carried Out
Till date, more than 7000 sleep screenings have been carried out through this comprehensive sleep program. The program includes 2000 consultations, over1500 sleep studies, and 3000 counseling & diet sessions. Additionally, over 1000 patients are on therapy for more than 350 days to treat their sleep disorders.
“Sleep deprivation is a silent epidemic and can have negative impacts on health, businesses and economies. The consequences of neglecting it welcome an increased risk of non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and heart conditions. Programs like Good Nidra makes it easy to analyse the sleeping patterns of patients in their comfortable environment, provide continuously monitored treatment using connected technology and ensure healthy sleep for people suffering from Sleep Apnea.” said Dr. Sangita Reddy, Joint Managing Director of Apollo Hospitals Group.
Innovation in the Sleep Therapy Space
GoodNidra.com, the first online retail website in India, is an innovation in the sleep therapy space. People can purchase sleep-testing gadgets and rent CPAP and BiPAP machines on a monthly basis under this program. CPAP devices are equipped with connected facilities for monitoring treatments remotely.
Potential Patients for Sleep Apnea
According to a survey conducted by Philips, 93% of Indians are sleep-deprived, and 65% of them are potential patients for Sleep Apnea. This program provides patients with an alternative to the traditional sleep apnea treatment methods and provides them with a comfortable and cost-effective treatment option.
Vikram Thaploo, CEO of HealthNet Global said “OSA is one of the most prevalent diseases in the world. Around 1 billion people worldwide experience OSA, and up to 80% of those who have sleep apnea go untreated. Sleep apnea is a serious chronic condition that affects patients’ quality of life and general health in addition to their ability to sleep. We are considerably improving the management of patients with obstructive sleep apnea and expanding the number of patients we can serve on any given day, thanks to the Good Nidra Program. This ground-breaking new program can aid the medical industry as a whole in confronting this deadly disease head-on in an effort to save more lives and increase public awareness of it.”
Summary
The Good Nidra Program has proven to be an effective alternative therapy for patients with obstructive sleep apnea. The program’s comprehensive approach to screening, diagnosis, and treatment has helped over 10,000 patients improve their sleep quality and treat the condition.
