Increased access and affordability of technological innovations are impacting all facets of OSA patient management. This podcast episode explores the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs) on both medical and dental care pathways needed for screening, diagnosing, and treating. As the field moves beyond traditional analog methods, new technologies, such as 3D printing, virtual assistants and diagnostic home wearables, are drastically reducing costs and expanding access to care.
This discussion with Dr. Aaron Glick explores how integrating these tools can help dental sleep practitioners transition into high-tech partners in the multidisciplinary management of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
