• Approximately 42 million American adults have SBD (sleep-disordered breathing)
• 1 in 5 adults has mild OSA (obstructive sleep apnea)
  • 1 in 15 has moderate to severe OSA (obstrctive sleep apnea)
• 75% of severe SBD (sleep-disordered breathing) cases remain undiagnosed

OCT holds promise to give physicians better imaging to provide accurate diagnoses and treatments.
