About Wink Health
Summary
Wink Health runs a digital sleep clinic that takes sleep apnea patients from initial screening through diagnosis and treatment without a single in-person visit. A smartphone app records breathing sounds during sleep to flag apnea risk, a telehealth layer connects patients with physicians, and prescribed treatments ship directly to their homes. The company targets the large population of adults who have sleep apnea but have never been diagnosed or treated, replacing the traditional in-clinic sleep study and referral chain.
Go-to-market
Patients reach Wink Health directly through the smartphone app, moving through screening, telehealth consultation, and home delivery of treatment in a single self-serve flow.

The digital sleep clinic
Wink Health is a simple and effective way to get treatment for sleep apnea online. About 90% of people with sleep apnea go untreated. Our goal is to remove the barriers to getting diagnosed and receiving treatment. We do this through a combination of a smartphone app that 'listens' for sleep apnea risk, telehealth consultations with doctors, and treatments shipped to people's homes.
