With 30,000 to 50,000 people in the US suffering from some type of sleep
disorder, the sleep market continues to grow at a rate of 15-20%. Many

physical problems. Grass Technologies, a pioneer in the diagnostic sleep
arena (dating back to 1937), designs and manufactures many advanced
PSG (polysomnograph) systems, which are utilized to monitor and automatically
analyze sleep abnormalities.
TWin software, long the platform for Grass Technologies hardware systems'
intuitive operation and ease of setup, has recently been released with
extraordinary features, especially for sleep monitoring. These features
include Pulse Transit Time (PTT) trending, new easy-to-interpret graphical
user interface, amplitude/measurement gridlines, and new easy data/video
editing. Also being introduced at the APSS are Grass Technologies's new
advanced Database Manager and convenient Patient Scheduler.
