The Problem
問題

  1. Executive Summary
    匯總

    The most common sleep disorders are Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and chronic insomnia. In the US, the prevalence of OSA is estimated to be 12% of the adult population totaling 29.4 million people. Among those 29.4 million people, approximately 80% of the patients are undiagnosed totaling 23.5million. Among the OSA diagnosed patients, 85% of patients are treated with nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) [2,3]. Similar situations apply to patients who have chronic insomnia. The diagnosis and treatment for sleep disorders could be effective in many ways, such as increasing quality of life, reducing cost burden, etc. [3]. Nowadays, new technology and tools for self-assessment make diagnosis and treatment more accessible and more convenient. The sleep health industry is a growing industry and is expected to grow at more than 8% a year.
    最常見的睡眠障礙疾病是阻塞性睡眠呼吸暫停(OSA)和慢性失眠。在美國,阻塞性睡眠呼吸暫停(OSA)的患病率估計為成年人人口的 12%,大概總共有 2940 萬人。在這 2940萬人中,約有 80% 的患者未確診,總計約有 2350 萬人。在阻塞性睡眠呼吸暫停 (OSA)診患者中,85% 的患者接受經呼吸機(CPAP)治療。患有慢性失眠症的患者面臨相似的情況。睡眠障礙的診斷和治療可以在提高生活質量和降低成本負擔等許多方面發揮作用。如今,有了新的自我評估技術和工具,診斷和治療變得更加容易和方便。睡眠健康行業是一個不斷增長的行業,預計每年以 8% 以上的速度增長。

  2. Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)
    阻塞性睡眠呼吸暫停


    Obstructive sleep apnea is the most common type of sleep apnea. It is a condition characterized by episodic upper airway narrowing during sleep. During sleep, the activity of the upper airway dilator muscles decreases in a sleep-state-dependent manner [4]. As a result, the patients will suffer from upper airway narrowing, loud snoring, and airflow reduction. Reduced airflow can be either partial (a hypopnea) or complete (an apnea). The apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) counts the total number of apneas and hypopnea per hour of sleep, used to describe the severity of OSA.
    阻塞性睡眠呼吸暫停是最常見的睡眠呼吸暫停類型疾病。這是一種以睡眠期間上呼吸道偶發性變窄為特徵的病症。在睡眠期間,上呼吸道擴張器肌肉的活動減少,而這種減少與睡眠狀態有關。因此,患者將遭受上呼吸道變窄、負荷打鼾和氣流減少所帶來的影響。氣流減少可以是部分的(呼吸不足)或完全的(呼吸暫停)。呼吸暫停低通氣指數(AHI)用於計算每小時睡眠中呼吸暫停和呼吸不足的總數,我們用呼吸暫停低通氣指數來描述阻塞性睡眠呼吸暫停(OSA)的嚴重程度。

    Among US adults, approximately 29.4 million people are suffering from OSA, and nearly 80% of people are undiagnosed. The significant barriers for people getting diagnosed with OSA are lack of public awareness of the symptoms and severity of the conditions, high cost for treatment, and lack of primary care physician education on the urgency of diagnosis and treatment [3].
    在美國成年人中,大約有 2940 萬人患有阻塞性睡眠呼吸暫停(OSA),將近有 80%的人未被確診。如此大量未被診斷為阻塞性睡眠呼吸暫停(OSA)的主要障礙是公眾缺乏對症狀和病情嚴重程度的認識,高昂的費用以及缺乏對診斷和治療緊迫性的教育。

    Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the standard treatment for moderate to severe OSA. However, adherence to CPAP is limited, and non-CPAP therapies are frequently explored. Oral appliance (OA) is currently widely used to treat snoring, mild, moderate, and severe OSA [6]. Positional therapy, which requires patients to keep sleeping on their side, is also an OSA treatment. Positional therapy is less invasive and has better adherence than CPAP [7].
    持續氣道正壓通氣呼吸機(CPAP)是中度至重度睡眠呼吸暫停(OSA)的標準治療方法。然而,患者對呼吸機的依從性有限,所以醫療系統經常探索非呼吸機療法。口腔矯治器(OA)目前廣泛用於治療打鼾、輕度、中度和重度阻塞性睡眠呼吸暫停(OSA)。要求患者側睡的體位療法也是阻塞性睡眠呼吸暫停(OSA)的一種治療方法。體位療法的侵入性較小,因此比呼吸機具有更好的依從性。

  3. Chronic Insomnia
    慢性失眠


    More than one-third of adults experience transient insomnia at some point in their lives. In about 40% of cases, insomnia can develop into a more chronic and persistent condition [1,8]. Chronic insomnia is associated with several adverse health outcomes and a severely reduced quality of life [11].
    超過三分之一的成年人在他們生命中的某個階段都經歷過短暫的失眠。在約 40%的病例中,失眠可發展為更慢性和持久的病症。慢性失眠與多種負面健康結果及生活質量嚴重下降都有關聯。

    Systematic sleep history is mainly used to assess and diagnose insomnia. The insomnia assessment involves understanding the patent’s typical sleep pattern at night and the effects of poor sleep on the patients. Expected daytime consequences include depressed mood, irritability, lack of energy, etc. [9,10]. Behavior therapy and pharmacotherapies are the most common two treatments for chronic insomnia.
    系統的睡眠史主要用於評估和診斷失眠。失眠評估包括瞭解患者夜間的典型睡眠模式以及睡眠不佳對患者的影響。常見的白天後果包括情緒低落、易怒和缺乏活力等 。行為療法和藥物療法是目前治療慢性失眠最常見的兩種療法。

  4. Impact of Treating Sleep Disorders
    治療睡眠障礙的療效


    The impact of treating sleep disorders like OSA and chronic insomnia includes increasing patients’ quality of sleep, increasing patients’ quality of life, decreasing the patient’s comorbidities such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, improving patient’s mental health, reducing substance abuse, increasing patient’s occupational productivity and decreasing the accidents and distractions that happen to the patients [3].
    治療阻塞性睡眠呼吸暫停(OSA)和慢性失眠等睡眠障礙會提高患者的睡眠質量,提高患者的生活質量,減少患者的糖尿病和心血管疾病等併發症,改善患者的心理健康,減少患者藥物濫用的概率,提高患者的職業生產力和減少發生在患者身上的事故和干擾。

    If the United States address more about the treatment of sleeping disorder, it will result in a truly transformational impact on society. Patients could expect a significant drop in life-threatening conditions such as stroke and heart disease and more enjoyable life and relationships. Employers would also see a jump in productivity and performance [3].
    如果美國更多地關注睡眠障礙的治療,它將對社會產生真正的變革性影響。患者發生中風和心臟病等危及生命的疾病將大幅減少,生活和人際關係也會更加愉快。雇主也將看到員工生產力和績效產生質的飛躍。

  5. The prevalence of sleep disorders
    睡眠障礙之流行


    More than 50 million Americans already suffer from over 80 different sleep disorders, and another 20 to 30 million suffer intermittent sleep problems each year. At least 25 million Americans (one in five adults) suffer from sleep apnea, severe sleep, and breathing condition linked to hypertension, cognitive impairment, heart disease, and stroke. Chronic insomnia affects at least 10 percent of Americans. About 70% of adults report that they obtain insufficient sleep at least one night a month, and 11% say inadequate sleep every night. Restless legs syndrome, a neurological disorder, affects about 5 percent of the population over age 65. Sleep disorders affect every race, socioeconomic class, and age group [1].
    每年有超過 5000 萬的美國人患有八十多種不同的睡眠障礙,另外還有 2000~3000 萬人患有間歇性睡眠問題。至少有 2500萬美國人(五分之一的成年人)患有睡眠呼吸暫停症,這是一種與高血壓,認知障礙、心臟病和中風有關的嚴重睡眠呼吸問題;至少 10% 的美國人患有慢性失眠症;大約有 70% 的成年人每個月至少有一次睡眠不足,成年人有 11% 的人群每晚都睡眠不足;65 歲以上的老人有 5% 患有一種不安腿綜合徵的神經系統疾病。睡眠障礙影響每個人種,社會階層和各年齡段的人口 [1]。


    Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) is defined by the number of obstructive apnea and hypopnea episodes per hour, reflecting the degree of departure from normal breathing during sleep. Between 1988 and 1994, the prevalence of moderate-severe OSA was estimated as 8.8% in males aged 30-70, whereas between 2007 and 2010, prevalence had risen to 13% in males and 6% in females[2].
    阻塞性睡眠呼吸暫停(OSA)是每小時睡眠中阻塞性呼吸暫停和呼吸不足的次數來定義,這個指標反映睡眠期間偏離正常呼吸的程度。1988 年至 1994 年期間,30-70 歲男性中重度睡眠呼吸暫停(OSA)的患病率估計為 8.8%,而 2007 年至 2010 年期間,男性患病率上升至 13%,女性為 6% [2]。

    Despite the high prevalence of sleep disorders, the overwhelming majority of sufferers remain undiagnosed and untreated, creating unnecessary public health and safety problems, as well as increased healthcare expenses. National surveys show that more than 60% of adults have never been asked about the quality of their sleep by a physician, and fewer than 20% have ever initiated such a discussion [1].
    儘管睡眠障礙的患病率很高,但絕大多數患者仍未得到診斷和治療,造成了不必要的公共健康和安全問題,並增加了醫療保健費用。全國調查顯示,超過 60% 的成年人從未被醫生詢問過他們的睡眠質量,只有不到 20% 的成年人曾經發起過這樣的討論 [1]。

  6. The risk factors of sleep disorders
    患有睡眠障礙的風險之因素


    Sleep issues can predispose individuals to many unhealthy behaviors, chronic conditions, and diseases related to lifestyle.
    睡眠問題會使個人容易有許多與生活方式相關的不健康行為,慢性病和疾病。

    1. Insomnia is a crucial cause of poor mental and physical health. Research has found that insomnia has been independently associated with the new-onset of stroke, hypertension, diabetes, depression, and perhaps even early mortality.
      失眠是導致身心健康狀況欠佳的一個關鍵原因。研究發現,失眠與新發中風,高血壓,糖尿病,抑鬱症,甚至早期死亡獨立相關。

    2. OSA is associated with hypertension, cardiovascular morbidity (notably elevated odds of stroke;) and mortality, sleepiness, impaired cognitive function, increased likelihood of motor vehicle crashes and occupational accidents, and reduced health-related quality of life.
      睡眠呼吸暫停(OSA)與高血壓,心血管發病率(特別是中風幾率升高)和死亡率,嗜睡,認知功能受損,機動車事故和職業事故的增加以及與健康相關的生活質量下降有關。

    3. Insufficient sleep prevents patients from getting the recommended 7-9 hours of sleep, which keeps the patients from feeling alert and well-rested during the day.
      睡眠不足讓患者無法獲得7-9小時的睡眠,它會讓患者在白天感覺不到警覺和充分休息。

    3. Industry overview
      行業概況


      The sleep health industry is a growing industry, especially in recent years. At least three significant acquisitions happened in 2021 regarding the sleep tracking device. The sleep-health industry is collectively estimated to be worth between $30 billion to $40 billion and has historically grown by more than 8 percent per year [12]. The emergence of COVID-19 has also contributed to the increasing incidence of sleep disorders.
      睡眠健康行業是一個不斷發展的行業,尤其是近年。 2021 年至少發生了三次關於睡眠跟蹤設備的重大收購。據估計,睡眠健康行業的總價值在 300 億至 400 億美元之間,而且歷史上每年增長超過 8%。新型冠狀病毒的出現也導致了睡眠障礙發病率的增加。

      China and the US have the highest prevalence of sleep apnea. With the increased prevalence of apnea and chronic respiratory disorders, the demand for sleep devices is expected to increase during the forecast period. The apnea device segment is growing at a CAGR of 8.34% by 2026. Almost 50% of Americans use prescription-based sleeping aids or OTC products, thereby booming the growth in the global sleep industry [13].
      中國和美國的睡眠呼吸暫停患病率最高。隨著呼吸暫停和慢性呼吸系統疾病患病率的增加,在預測期內對睡眠設備的需求將增加。直到 2026 年之前,呼吸暫停設備市場的復合年增長率將為 8.34%。近 50% 的美國人使用處方助眠劑或非處方藥產品,從而推動全球睡眠行業的蓬勃發展。

      The sleep health industry is continuously growing and advancing. Artificial Intelligence is penetrating almost every market as it is a handy and assistive tool that can be customized quickly based on the need. AI, along with machine learning and deep learning systems, can help automate processes while optimizing and increasing their efficiency and reducing errors. It can help improve the pace of diagnosis, thus increasing the rate of treatment. It can minimize or irradicate unnecessary tasks in healthcare, such as administrative documentation work, which surprisingly takes a significant time from the physician's schedule. Researchers use polysomnography, actigraphy, and electroencephalography to diagnose sleep disorders to analyze brain activity during sleep. All these technologies create a massive amount of data that includes patient sleep patterns and brain activity during sleep, which helps diagnose sleep disorders. AI can optimize these processes and help researchers and physicians to perform better [13].
      睡眠健康產業正在不斷地發展和壯大。人工智能正在滲透幾乎所有市場,因為它是一種非常有用的輔助工具,可以根據需要輕鬆定制。人工智能以及機器學習和深度學習系統可以幫助實現流程自動化,同時最優化和提高效率並減少錯誤。它可以幫助加快診斷速度,從而加快治療速度。它可以最大限度地減少或消除醫療保健中不必要的任務,例如文檔、行政工作,這些從醫生的日程安排中花費了大量時間的任務。為了診斷睡眠障礙,研究人員使用多導睡眠圖、活動描記術和腦電圖來分析睡眠期間的大腦活動。所有這些技術都會產生大量數據,其中包括患者睡眠模式和睡眠期間的大腦活動,這有助於診斷睡眠障礙。人工智能可以優化這些過程,幫助研究人員和醫生表現得更好。

      North America acquired a market share of 33.26% in the global sleep market in 2020. The US and Canada are the major markets in the region. The US sleep market held a dominating market share of 90.20% in 2020. This is also expected to continue during the forecast period. The leading position in the global sleep market is attributable to factors such as high incidence and prevalence rate of chronic sleep disorders, urban and fast-paced lifestyle, a high percentage of obese population, and increasing geriatric population. The growing prevalence rate of sleeping disorders is also attributed to the increasing prevalence of underlying conditions such as Parkinson's disease, type 2 diabetes, and COPD. The US and Canada rely on medications (complex solutions) rather than sleep aid devices (soft keys). The medications market in North America was valued at $ 2.19 billion in 2020 [13].
      在 2020 年,北美在全球睡眠市場的佔有率為 33.26%,美國和加拿大是該地區的主要市場。美國睡眠市場在 2020 年佔據了 90.20% 的主導市場份額。在預測期內這種情況也將持續。全球睡眠市場的領先地位歸因於慢性睡眠障礙的高發病率和患病率,城市和快節奏的生活方式,肥胖人口比例高以及老年人口增加等因素。睡眠障礙患病率不斷上升也歸因於基礎疾病例如帕金森病、二型糖尿病和慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)等的不斷增加患病率。美國和加拿大主要依賴藥物(硬解決方案)而不是助眠設備(軟解決方案)的使用。2020 年北美藥物市場價值 21.9 億美元。

    4. The shortage of sleep medicine care
      睡眠醫療服務的短缺


      The United States Census Bureau estimates the current population of the United States to be approximately 330 million people, and presently there are about 7,500 board-certified sleep specialists. This means that the ratio of people to sleep specialists in the United States is more than 44,000:1. In comparison, an area with a balance of people to psychiatrists greater than or equal to 30,000:1 could be eligible for designation by the United States Health Resources and Services Administration as a mental health shortage area. In addition, there are geographic barriers to high-quality sleep care, with board-certified sleep physicians and accredited sleep centers clustering in more urban, highly populated areas [4].
      美國人口普查局估計美國目前的人口約為 3.3 億,全美約有 7,500 名美國睡眠醫學協會認證的睡眠專家,兩者比例超過 44,000:1。相比而言,如果人口與精神病學家的比例大於或等於 30,000:1,則會被美國衛生資源和服務管理局指定為心理健康短缺地區。此外,高質量的睡眠護理服務也存在地理差異,協會認證的睡眠醫生和認證的睡眠中心聚集在城市和人口稠密的地區 [4]。

      After the 2011 examination, the board began to require a physician to complete at least twelve months of an ACGME-approved sleep medicine fellowship to become board-eligible, which resulted in fewer physicians sitting for the sleep medicine board examination beyond 2011 [4].
      在 2011 年考試之後,美國睡眠醫學協會開始要求醫生完成至少十二個月的睡眠醫學研究學習,才能獲得認證考試資格,這一新政導致 2011 年後參加考試的醫生減少 [4]。

      Conducted by Frost and Sullivan, 30% of patients reported their risk of sleep apnea was first identified by a primary care physician, with 10% receiving their diagnosis from these providers[4]. However, a recent study found that only 43 percent of primary care physicians routinely inquire about sleep, sleep disorders are rarely discussed during a typical primary care visit, most primary providers do not have formal sleep medicine training[4].
      在弗羅斯特沙利文公司最近進行的一項患者調查中,30% 的患者稱他們的睡眠呼吸暫停風險首先由家庭醫生識別,10% 的人從這些家庭醫生那裡得到確診 [4]。然而,最近的一項研究發現,只有 43% 的家庭醫生會定期詢問睡眠問題,在典型的初級保健就診期間很少討論睡眠障礙,大多數初級保健提供者沒有接受過正規睡眠醫學培訓 [4]。
