Happy Sleep Partners with Dentulu to Revolutionize Sleep Apnea Care Nationwide
Happy Sleep, provider of the FDA cleared Happy Ring, today announced its partnership with Dentulu, the leading dental service provider for Telehealth Dental Services, to create a turnkey solution for sleep apnea diagnosis and treatment for millions of patients nationwide. With this partnership, Happy Sleep expands beyond diagnosis and monitoring and creates a first-of-a-kind integrated sleep apnea solution incorporating custom oral appliance therapy, along with CPAP and other treatment options currently available. Dentulu's network of licensed dentists provide Happy Sleep patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) safe and effective access to FDA cleared mandibular advancement oral appliances. This partnership also enhances Dentulu's mission to provide access to nationwide sleep apnea evaluations, diagnosis, therapy, and remote patient monitoring through a fully integrated and patient-centered approach. Both testing and oral appliances are covered by most insurance companies making OSA treatment both accessible and affordable.
Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder that affects an estimated 30 million Americans, with 80% of moderate and severe obstructive sleep apnea cases going undiagnosed. If left untreated, sleep apnea can lead to severe health complications, including hypertension, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, cognitive impairments and an increase in rates of cancer. By disrupting normal breathing patterns during sleep, it places immense strain on the cardiovascular system, impacting overall health and quality of life.
Happy Sleep's FDA cleared ring is backed by its nationwide network of Board Certified Sleep Physicians to provide screening and diagnosis of sleep disorders helping increase awareness and access to OSA.
"The future of healthcare is not within the four walls of a distant hospital, but instead in a patient's own home," said Dr. Dustin Freckleton, CEO at Happy Sleep. "There's nothing quite like resting in your own bed. And nowhere is this better understood than in sleep medicine. We're thrilled to be ushering in a new era of healthcare, starting with sleep medicine."
"Our mission at Dentulu has always been to leverage technology and our nationwide network of licensed dentists to make dental care more accessible and convenient," said Dr. Arash Hakhamian, CEO of Dentulu. "By partnering with Happy Sleep, we are making it easier for patients to receive the care they need at their convenience while integrating cutting-edge technology for enhanced diagnostics and personalized treatments."
Key Components of the Partnership Include:
At-Home Sleep Testing: Happy Sleep provides FDA-approved sleep testing kits that patients can use in the comfort of their homes for a thorough evaluation over five nights. This approach eliminates the barriers associated with traditional in-clinic testing and enhances accessibility.
Virtual Consultations with Sleep Specialists: Patients can schedule online consultations with board-certified sleep doctors who review the test results and develop personalized treatment plans, simplifying the diagnosis process and ensuring timely care.
Comprehensive Treatment Options: Patients receive personalized treatment plans, which may include CPAP therapy or custom-made oral appliances.
Remote Patient Monitoring and Ongoing Support: The program offers continuous monitoring through remote patient management, helping patients stay on track with their treatment plans and providing timely intervention when needed. Dentulu's integrated platform supports communication between patients and their care teams, ensuring compliance and efficacy.
"Happy Sleep Is Dedicated to Enhancing Sleep Health by Combining Advanced Technology with Personalized Care," Said Dr. Dustin Freckleton, Ceo at Happy Sleep. "Through This Partnership with Dentulu, We Are Expanding Our Reach to Help More Patients Receive High-quality Sleep Apnea Care Under the Supervision of Licensed Dentists Nationwide Without Leaving Their Homes."
Accessible and Affordable Care
The partnership ensures that care is accessible by being in-network with most major health insurance providers, including Cigna, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Emblem, Blue Cross, and Medicare Advantage plans. This makes it possible for more patients to benefit from the program, breaking down financial and logistical barriers to sleep health care.

Home Sleep Test: Patients receive an easy-to-use sleep test kit that can be completed at home over five nights, providing accurate insights into their sleep patterns.
