- Monitor emerging trends and evolving consumer and clinical technologies and analyze their impact on sleep medicine.
- Develop additional new technology assessment reports while reviewing and updating existing #sleeptechnology reports on a regular basis.
- Develop educational resources (e.g., Montage content, podcast episodes) for members that include guidance on the use of the highest-prioritized technologies, including consumer wearable devices, and integration into practice.
- Gather information from industry when additional technology information is needed and be a supportive resource for industry-related technology queries (e.g., FAST Program).
- Identify the highest priority emerging technologies that may require clinical standards and provide recommendations to the AASM Board of Directors as needed.
- Develop two webinars for the 2025-2026 webinar series.
