Do you or a friend or family member have COPD and OSA?

Hello Friend of the ASAA,
 
We know we have asked before - but do you OR a friend or family member have Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (COPD) and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)?  
 
If you answered ‘yes’ to the question above, we need your help!
 
The COPD Foundation and American Sleep Apnea Association have launched a successful study to help patients make better use of their therapies, overcome barriers and achieve their health and quality of life goals. This study is proving free education and peer coaching to individuals living with both COPD and OSA, who require the use of CPAP therapy at night. Individuals who also use oxygen with their CPAP therapy at night are also encouraged to sign up. If you have ever been diagnosed with COPD and OSA, join the O2VERLAP Study and reserve your seat in our virtual classroom today. If you have a friend or family member that has both COPD and OSA, please forward this email to them to sign up using the link below.

The initial study results are very encouraging. Many study participants have benefitted from the coaching and education offered as part of this program.

Our enrollment period ends in April - this is your last chance to sign up.

Study participation in the O2VERLAP Study is mostly online and is completely voluntary. There is no cost to registering and compensation up to $75 may be provided.

ASAA announces version 2.1 updates to the SleepHealth Mobile App Research Study

The American Sleep Apnea Association (ASAA) is pleased to announce the upcoming 2.1 version upgrade of its groundbreaking sleep tracking app.

The SleepHealth Mobile App Research Study, first launched in March 2016, released an upgraded version on November 1. 

“This is one of the most exciting studies I have ever been a part of,” says Carl Stepnowsky, the ASAA’s Chief Science Officer, sleep researcher and clinician. “To co-design this study with patients and to be able to ask questions of participants about their nighttime sleep and daytime functioning as they go about their normal daily lives represents two ways we are trying to do research differently!”
