| The Problem |
Sleep disorders are the most prevalent health problem in modern times. They are emerging as significant factors in cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, and cancer. Excessive sleepiness is a critical factor in accidents and performance impairment. Sleep problems are also strongly correlated with psychiatric issues. In fact, insomnia is one of the strongest predictive factors for clinical depression.
Despite the availability of effective tools for managing most sleep disorders, the vast majority of people affected remain undiagnosed and untreated. A significant shortage of sleep medicine specialists and limited training on the part of other
physicians and mental health professionals compounds this dilemma. |

| The Solution |
The Sleep Advisor screens for insomnias, sleep-related breathing disorders, movement disorders, parasomnias, and disorders of excessive sleepiness, as well as a broad range of sleep health risk factors. Utilizing established sleep specialty practice parameters, the software employs a proprietary set of algorithms to provide a sensitive and accurate evaluation that minimizes false positives common with simple health screening tests.
Scientific studies have confirmed the efficacy of self-help treatments for insomnia1.
The Sleep Advisor emphasizes non-pharmacological interventions with strong empirical and clinical support and encourages further evaluation and specialty care, as needed. The Sleep Advisor also incorporates complementary and alternative medicine
into its treatment program.
Designed to be economic, accessible, and pragmatic, The Sleep Advisor runs on any personal computer using the Windows 2000 or XP operating system. Operation is self-explanatory, requiring no training or technical knowledge. |
