ASHEVILLE, N.C., April 21, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Aeroflow Healthcare, a nationwide medical equipment (DME) provider, announced an expansion of sleep apnea treatment solutions during the COVID-19 pandemic, including the addition of telemedicine services.
Aeroflow is contracting with Itamar Medical, a medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of non-invasive medical devices, solutions and a digital health platform to aid in the diagnosis of respiratory sleep disorders.
