ResMed’s leadership in sleep apnea stems from the combination of its digital-health ecosystem and new hardware to pair with smartwatches and wearables, CEO Mick Farrell tells Bloomberg Intelligence. The mix creates an end-to-end solution for diagnosis of sleep apnea, accelerated patient setup and resupply and proper data management to increase the adherence rate to 80%, he says. In this Vanguards of Health Care episode, Farrell sits down with BI analyst Matt Henriksson for an in-depth interview about how the company started as a spinoff from Baxter to become the market leader in sleep-apnea treatments. Those include novel technologies such as the AirSense 11 continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device and n30i mask. Farrell believes the rise of GLPs will have a “Botox effect” on sleep apnea, as patients become more aware of the disease and doctors use all available tools, including ResMed’s CPAP devices, to treat it.
