History

Sleep medicine, and oral appliances have become an area of great interest, the public at large are more discerning than ever. Australia now ranks sleep related problems. In 2011, for example, Deloitte Access Economics estimated that sleep disorders cost the Australian health care system $818 million – more than asthma and stroke – while sleep problems cost the economy $3.1 billion in lost productivity.

Aer Healthcare is the trading name of a disruptive pathway that ODL Sleep Services Pty Ltd has commercialised for the benefit of the one in three bad sleepers in Australia at this time. CEO of Aer healthcare, Chris Kelly, has been putting his mind to better oral appliance design for more than ten years.

Sleep 2008 and 2010, in Baltimore and San Antonio in the USA, saw Chris demonstrate his own invention, an FDA Cleared medical device “The Airwayease MAS” (oral appliance); with keen interest from dentists and RSPGT (sleep technicians). “The Freedom MRD” was an advanced step forward from the Airwayease MAS and solves many issues that oral appliances present to the therapy. The latest and best offering, the Aer Dorsal oral appliance brings a new and better approach to the therapy that these appliances can offer the patient. These issues are clearly explained by Chris in his seminars. Chris completed the Fundamentals of sleep medicine course held at Sydney University in 2012. This week long intense course is an in-depth journey into the field of sleep medicine. Aer is supported by Chris’s ongoing university studies at the University of Sydney.

Chris has participated in presentations on the subject of OSA and Sleep medicine from a dental perspective as well as from a durable medical equipment provider (DME provider) point of view. Chris has delivered presentations to small groups of dentists, and groups of clinical dental technicians in New Zealand, as well as Dental Prosthetists’ in Australia over the last couple of years. Dentists have enjoyed personal assistance with their patients for oral appliances across Australia in most states on a case by case basis over the last year. DME provision is an emerging cross over area that dental prosthetists can become involved in; the combination of scope for oral appliance record taking and construction, plus efficiency follow up screening for oral appliances, and further to this, the provision of DME equipment to patients (CPAP). Aer Healthcare enjoys provides a comprehensive service to patients who need therapy for OSA and enjoys functional relationships with referring dentists and specialists.
