New collaboration provides fast and affordable access to sleep medicine and menopausal care for women
NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–BlueSleep, a specialty care digital platform focused on snoring and sleep apnea, today announced a care partnership with Elektra Health, a first-of-its-kind menopause platform with evidence-based telemedicine care, education, 1:1 support, and a private community.
“The foundations of both organizations are built on clinical quality and disrupting the status quo of care delivery,” said Jordan Stern, MD, Founder and CEO of BlueSleep. “A care partnership with Elektra enables us to diagnose and treat more women with insomnia and sleep apnea, while providing BlueSleep patients with a proven care plan for menopause.”
BlueSleep patients will access Elektra’s comprehensive telemedicine care platform that includes board-certified clinicians; educational resources; community; and support from Elektra Guides (aka “menopause doulas”).
Elektra patients will get fast, affordable solutions for insomnia, snoring, and obstructive sleep apnea, a serious health problem associated with life-threatening issues such as heart disease and diabetes. In most cases, the majority of the cost is paid by medical insurance.
“We’ve built Elektra around one simple mission: smashing the menopause taboo and creating a movement to reimagine menopause as the beginning of a new chapter,” said Jannine Versi, Co-Founder and CEO of Elektra. “BlueSleep gives our patients fast and affordable access to diagnose and treat their sleep problems, commonly associated with menopause.”
