Royal Philips Electronics will be displaying its new sleep diagnostics and therapy solutions in the eight edition of the Otolaryngology Exhibition Conference at Madinat Jumeirah, Dubai.
“There are a number of potential causes for a disturbed night’s sleep,” explained Diederik Zeven, general manager of Philips Healthcare in the Middle East. “These include sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which affects approximately four per cent of the adult population.”
Zeven added: “It’s a disorder characterized by airway collapse behind the tongue during sleep, which obstructs breathing. If untreated, it can contribute to the development of high blood pressure, diabetes, heart attacks, and strokes.”
The company has developed an innovative collection of sleep products, including diagnostic tools and therapy devices.
During the conference, Philips will also be conducting sleep therapy solutions and demonstrating how its tools and products work.
