Access to in-lab polysomnography in Germany is limited, forcing patients to often wait a long time for a diagnosis. This collaboration lets physicians order a home PSG online for privately insured patients that is then performed by the patient in their own bed, and – where therapy is indicated – patients are directly connected to an experienced homecare provider, thereby shortening the time between diagnosis and treatment. Patients keep their right to choose their own medical aids provider at every step.
The process is designed for clinical precision and ease of use. Once the physician places an order online, Onera ships the Onera hPSG® patch-based sleep test directly to the patient's home. The patient then applies the sensors and sleeps in their own bed while capturing a gold-standard PSG data set. Onera then delivers a scored report to the physician, typically within 14 days of the order.
Following a confirmed diagnosis, the treating physician determines the appropriate treatment path. Where therapy is prescribed, VitalAire seamlessly coordinates the rapid initiation of home respiratory care – while fully respecting each patient’s free choice of provider – supported by its regional AtemCenter network, specialized home visits, and digital telemonitoring.
“Polysomnography, the gold standard sleep test, only benefits patients if a diagnosis leads to timely treatment. Working with VitalAire lets physicians in Germany offer full polysomnography at home and gives patients who need therapy the option of a defined, convenient route to an experienced homecare provider,” says Ruben de Francisco, Founder & CEO, Onera Health.
“Too many patients lose valuable time between diagnosis and therapy, risking serious long-term health complications. At VitalAire and Air Liquide Healthcare, our commitment to value-based care focuses on maximizing patient outcomes while optimizing costs for the healthcare system. By bridging home diagnostics and seamless therapy initiation – while always respecting the patient's full freedom to choose their provider – we can meaningfully improve quality of life from day one,” says Boyd Papprott, Director Sales, Marketing & Product Management, VitalAire Germany GmbH.

80% of IT Leaders Say the Digital Workplace Is Critical to AI Success, Yet Only 10% Have Fundamentally Redesigned It, Lenovo Research Finds10.11.2026 16:00:00 EET | Press release
Eight in ten IT decision makers say the digital workplace is critical to successful AI-led transformation, yet only 10% report fundamentally redesigning it for AI, according to Lenovo’s sixth Work Reborn report, The AI-ready workplace. The findings expose a significant gap between deploying AI tools and the operating capabilities needed to integrate them into how work gets done across an organization. The report frames workplace readiness as a connected system spanning people, workflows, technology, support and governance, with each contributing to how enterprises translate AI ambition into business outcomes at scale. Based on an August 2026 survey of 1,200 IT leaders at organizations with at least 1,000 employees across 12 countries, the report examines the workplace conditions needed to translate AI deployment into measurable value. While 76% rank AI-led transformation among their organization’s top IT priorities, only 27% have scaled AI across business functions. AI Deployment Is No
Nearly Nine in 10 Private Capital GPs Face Data Validation Challenges10.11.2026 16:00:00 EET | Press release

The $63.4 Billion Innovation Drain: Study Finds Unexpected Tech Costs Force Cuts into AI Investment and Hiring10.11.2026 16:00:00 EET | Press release
Businesses across eight major economies incur $63.4 billion annually in technology infrastructure overspend attributable to opaque, unpredictable or difficult-to-forecast provider charges, forcing companies to scale back investments in artificial intelligence, hiring and new product development, according to new economic research from the Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR), commissioned by Wasabi Technologies. The overspend reflects infrastructure provider charges businesses could not forecast, rather than their own planned usage. AI and machine learning infrastructure accounted for $23.4 billion, or 37%, of the total overspend, more than any other technology category. It is also the category businesses find hardest to forecast. AI infrastructure costs are unpredictable for 22% of businesses, nearly double any other layer in the technology stack, where the range is between 8% and 12%. The findings expose a growing financial challenge for companies investing in AI. The in
