About Ognomy
Ognomy is the vision of founder and CEO Daniel Rifkin, MD, a New York-based sleep medicine specialist. The start-up plans to quickly expand across America, and is already available in 11 states.
"Ognomy bridges the care gap for patients who are concerned for their health but are not comfortable visiting traditional sleep centers," said Rifkin. Addressing the draw for providers, Rifkin added, "Sleep medicine professionals can extend their practice online with the infrastructure Ognomy offers. It is an incredible opportunity to support patients, spark business growth, and create a flexible work schedule that benefits everyone."
About Sleep Apnea
Known as the "not-so-silent killer" due to its association with loud snoring, obstructive sleep apnea occurs when the muscles in the throat relax and close during sleep, which disrupts breathing. As a result, the body subconsciously wakes itself in an attempt to return breathing to normal, which can happen hundreds of times each night. Left untreated, the sleep disorder can lead to a wide range of health complications, including increased risk of heart attack, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, liver problems, and accidents due to drowsiness or lack of concentration.
