Missed, Misread, Undiagnosed: The OSA Gap

In a wide-ranging, candid roundtable moderated by Anne Marie Morse, DO, CEO of DAMM Good Sleep, leading sleep experts Atul Malhotra, MD (UC San Diego Health), Reena Mehra, MD, MS (UW Medicine), and Azizi Seixas, PhD (University of Miami) tackle one of sleep medicine’s most urgent challenges: why obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) remains profoundly underdiagnosed. Drawing on epidemiology, clinical experience, and community-based research, the panel explores stigma, outdated phenotypes, gender differences, access barriers, and the limitations of clinic-centric care. The discussion highlights the need to rethink how OSA is identified—through population health strategies, home testing, digital tools, and community engagement—to reach the millions of patients whose symptoms don’t fit the classic mold but whose health is quietly at risk.
