VGM Group, Inc. Announces Acquisition of SleepGlad

VGM Group, Inc. is pleased to announce the acquisition of SleepGlad, a leading provider of innovative sleep technology solutions. This strategic acquisition aims to enhance VGM Group's portfolio in the sleep technology sector and reinforces its commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions to its customers. 

SleepGlad is a secure, cloud-based 3D mask fitting platform for PAP and NIV. Developed by a board-certified sleep physician, SleepGlad scans and precisely measures patients remotely through any smartphone or camera enabled device. Combined with a machine-learning platform, SleepGlad provides a manufacturer-agnostic recommendation for the ideal mask fit.

Comfort plays a key role in patient compliance. SleepGlad helps providers find the right mask for their patients on the first fitting, making their therapy more comfortable. The easy-to-use technology creates 97% accurate mask recommendations. This saves both providers and patients time in the mask fitting/re-fitting process and improves the overall patient experience.

“Technology continues to define the future of healthcare, and I’m proud VGM is leading the charge,” said Jeremy Stolz, VGM Group CEO. “SleepGlad is a perfect addition to the diversified VGM family of businesses. It utilizes leading edge technology to support providers and improve patient outcomes. That’s why VGM is here. We’re committed to investing in solutions that help providers focus on what they do best—providing the highest quality care for patients.” 

The SleepGlad team, except for David Baxter, President of Baxter Technologies, will continue to operate under VGM’s ownership. The team includes Tim Bethany, Vice President; Jose Valentin, Business Development Manager; Hatem Alamir, Vice President Engineering; and Emin Muratoglu, Full Stack Developer. 

"I am confident that SleepGlad's future is bright with VGM Group,” said Baxter. “The SleepGlad team is committed to ensuring a smooth transition and maintaining the high standards of service that our customers have come to expect. Although I am stepping away from the company, I remain committed to supporting the DME industry and exploring new technologies. SleepGlad's innovative spirit and dedication to improving sleep health will continue to thrive with VGM Group.”

VGM Group is excited about the opportunities that this acquisition presents. SleepGlad’s innovative products are at the cutting edge of the industry, and VGM Group is dedicated to investing in further research and development. VGM Group customers can expect to see continued advancements in the sleep journey as the company continues its commitment to providing the highest quality products and services. 

“SleepGlad perfectly fills a gap in our current sleep solution offerings, and it’s a real gamechanger for our customers,” said Boone Lockard, CRT, VP, Clinical Services, VGM & Associates, who will oversee the SleepGlad team. “It simplifies a time consuming and hands-on process, and most importantly, it helps improve patient quality of care.”  

VGM will debut the SleepGlad offering, along with a full suite of provider-focused sleep solutions, at Medtrade next month in their booth, #701.
