DreamStation
DreamStation offers a range of positive airway pressure (PAP)* sleep therapy devices that
offer exceptional comfort, intelligent monitoring, motivation and feedback, and seamless
connectivity to the care team for proven clinical care and effortless patient management.
Alongside the baseline continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)* model, the CPAP Pro,
Auto CPAP, BiPAP, Auto BiPAP, and BiPAP Auto SV feature advanced event detection and
automation algorithms that anticipate and respond to your individual therapy needs.
DreamWear
Designed to feel like you’re not wearing a mask, DreamWear’s innovative design directs
airflow through the frame so patients can sleep comfortably with more freedom of
movement. The minimal contact, under-the-nose cushion prevents red marks, discomfort or
irritation in the nostrils or on the nose bridge.
DreamMapper
A mobile and web-based patient support application with motivational alerts, troubleshooting
advice, and educational content, DreamMapper is designed to help you take active role in
adjusting to using your sleep apnea therapy, so that you can enjoy the benefits of better sleep
and health.
