Introduction
The International Sleep Science and Technology Association (ISSTA) was founded in 2012 in Berlin, Germany and is headed by distinguished sleep science and sleep medicine experts from all over the world. The ISSTA goal is to integrate various disciplines in sleep medicine and science and combine modern research with emerging technologies to further raise the educational levels on sleep medicine. ISSTA aims to improve the quality of sleep, daytime function and overall quality of life of not only groups with sleep disorders, but also the population with sleep complaints and disturbances. It is comprised of a board of directors and six committees: International Committee, Popularizing Committee, Research & Development Committee, Industrialization Committee, Education Committee, and the Global Policy & Regulation Committee.
OUR VISSION
Sleep medicine will advance not only through incremental improvements of traditional sleep technology which focuses on the utilization of polysomnographyfor the diagnosis and management of sleep disorders, but also on how new and emerging technologies can assist in preventing sleep disorders, decreasing morbidity, and improving quality of sleep, daytime function and the overall quality of life. Through the co-operation between the governments, academia and industries in different countries, ISSTA should be able to foster sustainable economic growth and shared interests globally by raising the living standards and promoting the sleep-related industrial development.
OUR MISSON
ISSTA seeks to improve healthcare and decrease morbidity and mortality by working to develop new technologies directly relevant to all aspects of sleep medicine. By proposing the topics of “Sleep Technology” as the agenda in the international organizations, such as APEC (Asia‐Pacific Economic Cooperation), EU (European Union), NAFTA(North American Free Trade Agreement) and WHO (World Health Organization)…etc., so ISSTA could achieve the vision mentioned above.
OUR GOAL
To integrate the various disciplines that are involved in sleep medicine / science, connecting current research in sleep medicine with newer and emerging technologies to further raise the educational levels on sleep medicine and improve the quality of sleep and life of not only the groups with sleep disorders, but also of the population with sleep complaint(s) / disturbance.
