‪The technology company Medco, located at the Science, Technology and Business Park of the Universitat Jaume I (Espaitec) has launched a new business line dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of sleep apnoea, a disorder that during 2013 affected 70% of the patients treated at the Sleep Disorders Unit of the General Hospital in Castellón.

The apnoea-hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) refers to one of the most common respiratory disorders suffered by the population.  ‪However, recent studies suggest that only 2 out of 10 people suffering from sleep apnoea are aware of it.  ‪It is important to know about this disorder, not only those who suffer it, but also the people who live with them, as they will be the first to detect this health problem.

**‪The main objective of Medco Health, led by Dr. Mark McEnroe of Noble's Hospital at Isle of Man with over 18 years experience in respiratory sleep disorders, is to accompany the patient during the treatment to ensure an optimal adherence to it taking into account that the degree of compliance does not exceed 30%. It will be done through a remote patient monitoring, with a daily online tracking of all parameters of the Cpap, with monthly reports to the patient and arranged visits.  ‪Medco Health collaborates with the Spanish Association of Sleep (ASENARCO) that just opened an office in Castellón.**
