In aviation, staying sharp isn’t just important, it’s mandatory.
For pilots, maintaining FAA medical certification means keeping every aspect of health in check, including sleep. That’s where ESD Health (Effortless Sleep Diagnostics) comes in, offering a streamlined, FAA-compliant solution for diagnosing sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
The Sleep Challenge in Aviation
Sleep apnea is far more common than most pilots realize and it’s a condition that can quietly affect alertness, performance, and long-term health. Fatigue, slower reaction times, and reduced focus are just a few of the potential risks.
Because of these safety concerns, the FAA requires pilots diagnosed with OSA to undergo treatment and demonstrate compliance in order to maintain their medical certification.
But the testing process doesn’t have to be complicated or disruptive and that’s where ESD Health makes a difference.
