Partnering with Employers and Wellness Managers
Convenient Home Sleep Testing
Employees and/or members complete a brief sleep assessment either online or in paper form. Those that are identified as high risk for sleep disorders will be contacted to provide education and/or provided a home sleep test based on individual results. The ARES™ Home Sleep Test is mailed directly to employees with pre-paid postage to receive and return the device.
Create Healthier Employees
Employees treated for sleep disorders have reported increased cognitive function, energy levels, and quality of life. This translates to increased productivity and lower absenteeism.
Cost Effective Diagnosis
Home Sleep Testing is a cost-effective and convenient alternative to in-lab testing, which can amount to thousands of dollars in savings.
