Description
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is hosting a highly anticipated, thought-provoking, and interactive two-day virtual workshop on November 14-15, 2024. The workshop, entitled “Heterogeneity and Sex/Gender Differences in Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Personalized Approaches to Diagnosis, Treatment, and Implementation,” is designed to explore the intricacies of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and the diverse aspects of its diagnosis and treatment. The primary objective of this workshop is to explore how personalized and precision-based approaches can be integrated into sleep medicine therapies. Furthermore, the workshop aims to elucidate how identifying unique subtypes and characteristics of OSA can pave the way for individualized treatment strategies across the lifespan and particularly in communities that bear a disproportionate burden of the adverse effects of this condition. This workshop is an important event for professionals and individuals keen on gaining insight into the latest advancements and future directions in the diagnosis and management of OSA.
Workshop Objectives:
- Delineate the heterogeneity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) diagnosis, treatment, and implementation efforts.
- Facilitate personalized and precision-based approaches in sleep medicine.
- Discuss how the identification of current research metrics can be translated to clinical practice and utilized for a tailored approach in diagnosing and treating OSA across the lifespan and among populations that are disproportionately impacted.
