Revolution of sleep diagnostics and personalized health care based on digital diagnostics and therapeutics with health data integration KU Leuven

Dries Testelmans
Laboratory of Respiratory Diseases and Thoracic Surgery (BREATHE)

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with various negative health consequences including increased risk of heart disease, hypertension and daytime sleepiness causing road accidents. The economic burden of OSA is rising as almost 1 billion people worldwide are estimated to have OSA. The current diagnostic metric, however, relates poorly to these symptoms and comorbidities. It merely measures the frequency of breathing cessations without ...

Department of Public Health
Define, apply and measure quality of care is a complex question that fed long and animated discussions. There are different conceptual approaches and measurement techniques, furthermore the concept spans on two levels: from the level of the individual patient to the level of the health system [1, 2] and the distinction between quality and performance is often unclear [1]. A broader definition provided by the American Institute of Medicine ...
