Connected Care, in partnership with Disabled American Veterans (DAV), recently hosted Get Back to Sleep with VA Tools and Technologies – a Facebook Live event showcasing VA's Path to Better Sleep, Remote Veteran Apnea Management Platform (REVAMP) and CBT-i Coach.

Getting quality sleep may not seem like a critical health issue, but it can be. Poor sleep has been linked to increased risk of depression, high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, diabetes and more. During the event, which was held live on Sept. 4, 2019, VA experts discussed how VA technologies are helping to improve Veterans' sleep and quality of life.

Mary Dever, DAV Assistant National Communications Director, moderated the discussion with Samuel Kuna, MD, Chief of Sleep Medicine at the Corporal Michael J. Crescenz VA Medical Center, and Carolyn Greene, PhD, National Manager for VA Mental Health Services.

Watch the recorded video, archived on DAV's Facebook page.
