Look at a conversation between HomeCare Media and Dr. Sreeram Mullankandy on the role of artificial intelligence in home health care.

Resmed supported nine studies that were presented at the annual SLEEP 2025 meeting that report how heart health and OSA in women are connected.

They sound like something from science fiction: powered, wearable robots that help people with serious spinal injuries or other mobility issues walk upright. Even the name—exoskeletons—puts it in a separate category from most mobility devices, and possible integration with artificial intelligence (AI) feels even more futuristic.

Each year, HomeCare checks in with home medical equipment (HME) providers and home health agencies (HHA) and other in-home care providers to see where they stand on salaries, benefits and staffing at their organizations. We know it’s a topic of great concern for your business, and we hope sharing this information provided by your peers helps you in decision making. Here’s what stood out from this year’s data:

Cardinal Health announced April 1 that it has acquired Advanced Diabetes Supply Group (ADSG), a nationwide direct-to-patient diabetic medical supplies provider, for approximately $1.1 billion. ADSG, which serves some 500,000 patients a year, will merge with Cardinal Health's at-Home Solutions business.

Stopping Medicare cuts, ensuring Medicare Advantage beneficiaries have good access to care, passing groundbreaking hospice legislation and bringing homecare into the forefront are all priorities for the newly-formed National Alliance for Care at Home, said CEO Steve Landers.“We’ve got to start improving access to home health care, and the way that we do that is we end this march of payment cuts that are being set forward by Medicare,” Landers said at the Alliance’s Homecare and Hospice Conference and Expo, which was held in October in Tampa, Florida.

The Tennessee-based company SleepRes burst onto the sleep therapy scene two years ago with the introduction of the V-Com, a small device that, when added to a standard CPAP, softens the peak inspiratory flow that often bothers new patients. Now its creator, the sleep physician William Noah, has come up with a new concept. At the end of May, he introduced the Kairos PAP (KPAP) algorithm, which he says allows CPAP pressure to be reduced to be more comfortable without impacting efficacy.

The medical device maker ResMed presented 13 new clinical studies at the recent SLEEP 2024 conference, which is the joint meeting of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the Sleep Research Society. The studies were wide-ranging but focused on demonstrating the value of positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

When Mary Schuleri’s mother, Jo, was prescribed a walker during her post-surgical rehab, her spirits fell. She didn’t want to use the drab gray walker she’d been told to—so she became less active and her recovery slowed. So Schuleri searched for a way to get her mother—who had always accessorized her colorful outfits with style—moving.
