Las Vegas, Jan. 6, 2017 \u00a0–\u00a0<\/strong>The world is about to find out how well it really sleeps \u2013 and how to sleep better \u2013 thanks to SleepScore Labs, a new company focused on helping people understand and improve their sleep.<\/p>\n

SleepScore Labs is a joint venture between renowned surgeon and television host Dr. Mehmet Oz; ResMed (NYSE:RMD), the global leader in medical devices and digital connected care; and private equity firm Pegasus Capital Advisors, L.P.<\/p>\n

The new venture combines ResMed\u2019s 28 years of leadership, research and development in consumer and medical devices and technologies for sleep monitoring, coaching and patient engagement with Dr. Oz\u2019s consumer health and wellness audience to create a pivotal player in the consumer sleep market, which is estimated to be $80.8 billion by 2020.<\/p>\n

SleepScore Labs\u2019 initial focus is to compile and analyze the most comprehensive and accurate collection of consumer sleep data on the planet, starting with its landmark national sleep study on SleepScore.com. During today\u2019s panel discussion, \u201cConfronting the Sleep Epidemic Head-On\u201d<\/a> at the CES Digital Health Summit (2:30pm ET\/11:30am PT), Dr. Oz and ResMed will share insights from more than one million nights of sleep data collected to determine America\u2019s SleepScore.<\/p>\n

Dr. Oz, a long-time advocate for the importance of sleep in health and wellness, was compelled by ResMed\u2019s proven sleep monitoring technology for consumers, the S+ by ResMed, and by the company\u2019s commitment to helping people better understand their sleep so they can lead more productive, healthier and happier lives. The S+ is the world\u2019s first non-contact sleep tracker and smartphone app. It uses bio-motion sensors to measure an individual\u2019s sleep quality and bedroom environment, delivering personalized feedback to help people track and improve their sleep.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve learned in my time as a public health teacher, advocate, television host and physician that the current standard of sleep quality in America is drastically unacceptable,\u201d said Dr. Oz. \u201cWe pay so much attention, especially at this time of year, to making resolutions about diet and exercise. It\u2019s high time we pay more attention to sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe statistics on sleep disorders are staggering,\u201d Dr. Oz said. \u201cMore than 70 million Americans suffer from a sleep disorder. Drowsy driving is responsible for thousands of fatal crashes a year. The list goes on and on. ResMed has the technology to help us measure, understand and educate people who are struggling with sleep. We know if people have the right tools, they will be able to improve their sleep and overall health. I believe in the importance of this so much and am excited about this new venture and partnering with ResMed to solve the epidemic of sleeplessness.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen ResMed launched the S+ for consumer sleep monitoring, and made 100 percent of our sleep devices cloud connected, we led the market in the development of connected health tools,\u201d said Mick Farrell, ResMed CEO. \u201cWe introduced a new phase of sleep research and sleep understanding that helps improve the health of millions of patients as well as business efficiency for their healthcare providers. Our conversations with Dr. Oz have confirmed the strong alignment between our mission and his vision. With SleepScore Labs, we have an opportunity to educate and inspire millions more to improve their sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n

SleepScore Labs will also license SleepScore by ResMed\u2122 technology for other consumer sleep devices, to upgrade their tracking capabilities and improve their products. The new venture has already signed R&D contracts with several global leaders, including LED powerhouse Lighting Science Group, which plans to leverage SleepScore technology to quantitatively measure the effectiveness of its GoodNight\u2122 LED pre-sleep bulb.<\/p>\n

\u201cDiet, exercise and sleep are the pillars of our health,\u201d said Colin Lawlor, CEO SleepScore Labs. \u201cFor decades, people have measured their diet and exercise \u2013 whether by counting calories or counting the number of steps they take each day. In recent years, we\u2019ve seen a lot more public focus on the importance of sleep, but there hasn\u2019t been a widely available, clinically proven standard for measuring sleep. That\u2019s about to change. SleepScore will be the established standard for how we measure and talk about sleep, and SleepScore by ResMed is the proven technology to enable and drive the conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n
