What Wink Health does
Wink Health is a simple and effective way to get treatment for sleep apnea online. About 90% of people with sleep apnea go untreated. Our goal is to remove the barriers to getting diagnosed and receiving treatment. We do this through a combination of a smartphone app that 'listens' for sleep apnea risk, telehealth consultations with doctors, and treatments shipped to people's homes.

Company
Wink Health
The digital sleep clinic
We built a platform that lets people get diagnosed and treated for sleep apnea entirely online. It includes a smartphone app that detects sleep apnea risk by listening to your sleep, telehealth consultations with doctors, and a way to get treatments shipped directly to your home. We remove the traditional barriers of needing to visit a clinic, making treatment accessible and simple.
We live in San Francisco, and the company would continue to be based here after YC.
San Francisco is where we are now and where we have our network and resources. It's also where many patients and doctors we work with are located, so it makes sense to stay here.
