Sep 6 2012

Modus Five has launched a new educational and user-friendly multimedia software program called Sleep Disorder: a Patient Education Multimedia Course. The software program presents helpful information by using rich graphics, interactive content, videos and animations.    

Dr. Aaron Morse from Central Coast Sleep Disorders Center in Santa Cruz, Calif. has practiced sleep medicine for 30 years and helped supervise the program's development. "This software, developed by sleep professionals employs animation, video interviews and good content in a user friendly and interactive way. It should go a long way towards raising awareness that sleep disorders are common and treatable."

The software program offers step-by-step lessons on obstructive sleep apnea, insomnia, restless legs syndrome, narcolepsy, and delayed sleep-phase syndrome, which are among the most common sleep-related conditions affecting millions of people world-wide. Patients, physicians, nurses, medical educators and health care organizations can utilize this software program to learn about the physiology, symptoms, causes, diagnosis and treatment options for each sleep disorder.

High-definition videos show the different stages of sleep apnea treatments including initial visits, polysomnography sessions, viewing and understanding test results, and pediatric options. Dr. Jonathon Wagner of Santa Cruz Dental Group also describes a variety of dental appliances used as sleep apnea aids and their benefits.

"The Sleep Disorder software designed by Modus Five reflects their excellence in designing medical and patient education. Their clear and comprehensive Sleep Disorder product merits attention," said Nancy Rothstein, The Sleep Ambassador® and member of the Board of the American Sleep Apnea Association.
