SHREVEPORT, La. – SleepNavigator Inc., a medical software company that says it is addressing widespread breakdowns in sleep medicine, has raised its first round of funding from a coalition of statewide investors, including Ochsner Health, Boot 64 Ventures and New Louisiana Angel Fund 3. “After more than 30 years running sleep centers, DME services and full-service sleep management, I have seen the many ways this system can fail a patient,” said Lea Desmarteau, founder and CEO of SleepNavigator Inc. “Too many good people are working inside disjointed workflows. We built SleepNavigator to change that with real patients and real teams.” SleepNavigator’s cloud-based platform simplifies and connects every part of the sleep care journey, from referral and scheduling to home and in-lab testing, scoring, interpretation, treatment, and long-term follow-up, the company says. It connects referring physicians, sleep centers, hospital systems, home sleep testing programs, DME and PAP providers, dentists and patients in one united platform with automated workflows, so every step of the sleep care journey is visible, accountable, and easier to manage, it says.
