Healthworks, in conjunction with ResMed (a leading respiratory medical device manufacturer, specialising in products for the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disordered breathing), provides a unique sleep well education and intervention program that can be incorporated into a corporate wellness or OH&S program. Typically the program includes:

 Sleep Well Seminar
This 60 minute seminar covers basic facts about sleep, why we need it, how much we need and hints for getting enough sleep.  During the seminar participants will be asked to complete the 8 item ‘Epworth Sleepiness Scale’ questionnaire to assist them to identify the presence of a sleep related issue. Participants will also receive their own copy of the ‘Sleep Well’ booklet.

Sleep Well Workshop
At the conclusion of step 1, interested employees can sign up for the follow-up workshop. This workshop demonstrates how to use the overnight monitoring device i.e. ApneaLink, for an overnight sleep screen.

Sleep Well Overnight Monitoring
The ApneaLink monitor is a portable mobile phone size device that is worn overnight to collect information about breathing patterns during sleep to help identify a risk of sleep disordered breathing. 

Sleep Well Report
A report is generated from the overnight data i.e. an individuals ‘Apnea / Hypopnea Index’ or AHI.  This indicates the likelihood of risk for Sleep Disordered Breathing.

Sleep Well Follow-up
A confidential phone consultation (for detected high risk persons) will be provided - such as recommendations for further testing at a sleep clinic and / or the provision of a report to the participant’s GP.

Sleep Well Clinic
Participants may choose to attend an appointment for further testing at a sleep clinic.
