    2025/04/10

    Sleep apnea is commonly known as a concern for men but it is something women should look out for as well?

    This episode explores the overlooked connection between sleep health and cardiovascular outcomes, especially for women. Dr. John Kim, ER doctor and venture capitalist at Aphelion Capital (American Heart Association), shares insights into gender biases in diagnosing sleep disorders and the emerging technologies reshaping treatment.


    We talk about:

    • Why women may be underdiagnosed for sleep apnea and the serious heart health risks this creates.

    • How newer, less invasive sleep apnea treatments are being developed — with personalization for men and women in mind.

    • The investment opportunity in sleep health innovation and how it could expand care equity for women.
