At SLEEP 2015, Philips will display its new solutions in home sleep testing, PAP therapy, masks, and programs that enhance patient engagement, boost compliance rates and improve long-term care. These solutions, part of Philips' The ANSWER three-phase approach to sleep therapy, work together as a seamless, connected system to address the key aspects in the sleep patient's journey from set-up, to compliance, through ongoing patient management. Recent additions to Philips' sleep portfolio include:
