ATS 2024: a look to the future of sleep and breathing health


Listen Later

The ATS (American Thoracic Society) International Conference is a key event in the global sleep and breathing health calendar. So in this episode of OnAir, we asked Kimberly Sterling and Luciana Rabello – who were there as part of ResMed’s Medical Affairs Team – to share the exciting developments and research findings that caught their attention.

Topics discussed include:

  • Endotypes: what they are and how they differ to phenotypes – with a look at the role endotyping can play in the management of heterogenous conditions like OSA, and why a collaborative approach to its application may be key.
  • AI in medicine: how large-language models ‘think’ about complex care cases compared to the reasoning of seasoned clinicians, and the possibility of developing speech-based screening for sleep apnoea.
  • GLP-1s: could the use of these anti-obesity medications be associated with increased PAP adherence?
  • Kimberly and Luciana also tell us about connecting with peers to share scientific findings from the 26 abstracts ResMed supported at the event – including evidence that suggests PAP therapy reduces the risks of death and hospitalisation for patients with OSA.*
