Researchers from IDIBGI and the Dr. Josep Trueta University Hospital of Girona presented results from the INNOBICS-SAHS project at two important European congresses: the European Respiratory Society Congress (ERS 2024) and the Sleep Europe Congress 2024.
The European Respiratory Society Congress took place in Vienna, Austria, from 7 to 11 September, bringing together experts in Pneumology from around the world to showcase the latest advances in respiratory science and medicine.
INNOBICS-SAHS partners presented the poster ‘A diagnostic algorithm for obstructive sleep apnea in primary care’. The paper explains the positive results obtained in the study that was carried out in 11 primary care centres in the Girona region from January 2022 to September 2023, to diagnose patients with obstructive sleep apnea. The study followed the new healthcare process implemented in the project, which requires the figure of a sleep nurse, a digital platform designed specifically for obstructive sleep apnea and a Virtual Sleep Unit.
From 24 to 27 September, the Sleep Europe Congress 2024, the biennial congress of the European Sleep Research Society, took place in Seville, bringing together thousands of medical and research professionals and students to learn about the latest advances in sleep science and network with their peers.
At this international meeting, INNOBICS-SAHS partners presented the same results as at the ERC Congress 2024, but in this case in the oral presentation ‘Diagnosis and treatment of sleep apnea-hypopnoea syndrome in primary care (INNOBICS-SAHS)’.
