Details
This session broadens the diagnostic and clinical lens beyond standard OSA assessment. Dr Lucia Pinilla presents an update on emerging sleep study technology, including Level 3 devices, consumer wearables, and the role of hypoxic burden as a metric beyond AHI. Dr Roo Killick explores the intersection of women's health, menopause and OSA in the context of oral appliance therapy, and Prue Hall closes with an update on comorbid insomnia and sleep apnoea (COMISA) - an increasingly recognised and clinically important overlap condition.
