Sleep apnea is not just snoring , it is a deadly and underdiagnosed epidemic silently affecting more than 1 in 5 adults worldwide, yet over 80% remain undiagnosed”
LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, November 11, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Port of Spain, Trinidad, November 11th and 12th at the 2025 Trinidad & Tobago Oil and Energy AMCHAM TT Conference hosted at the Hyatt Regency, Dentulu Inc., a U.S.-based global leader in digital dentistry and telehealth, and ISD Health Solutions, the Caribbean’s authority in sleep medicine, unveiled #WakeUpTrinbago, a bold national challenge to save lives through corporate sleep-apnea screening and awareness.— Dr. Arash Hakhamian DDS
A Corporate Health Movement with Purpose:
#WakeUpTrinbago calls on 100 of Trinidad and Tobago's most responsible companies to participate in a 100-day mission to screen, educate, and protect employees from undiagnosed sleep apnea. 100 Days. 100 Companies. 10,000 Lives Saved. 1,000,000 Reasons to Wake Up to Sleep. Sleep apnea, a silent killer that disrupts breathing and deprives the brain of oxygen during sleep, is linked to obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and workplace accidents. The initiative will deliver on-site and home-based sleep testing, digital diagnostics, and tele-consultations to help corporations safeguard their most valuable asset: their people.
“Sleep apnea is not just snoring; it is a deadly and underdiagnosed epidemic silently affecting more than 1 billion people worldwide, yet over 80% remain undiagnosed, explains Dr. Arash Hakhamian, CEO of Dentulu. “Every night, victims of sleep apnea stop breathing dozens, sometimes hundreds of times per hour, depriving the brain and heart of oxygen.” Left untreated, it increases the risk of heart attack by 140%, stroke by 60%, and sudden cardiac death by over 200%.
Beyond the statistics, sleep apnea steals focus, energy, and vitality, eroding relationships, careers, and mental health. Just recently, Arvin Williams, 32 of St. Joseph Village, perished in a car accident, suspected of falling asleep at the wheel. By launching #WakeUpTrinbago, Dentulu and ISD Health Solutions are bringing lifesaving screening, education, and treatment directly into workplaces, reaching thousands who would otherwise never be tested. For many, this campaign will be the first time anyone has measured their sleep health in the Caribbean, the first time their snoring, fatigue, or morning headaches will be recognized as signs of a dangerous disorder. For many, this will also be an introduction to CPAP alternatives for those who do not want to or cannot tolerate CPAP therapy. FDA-cleared alternatives, including GLP1s and Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT) will also be offered to combat snoring and sleep apnea.
By identifying those at risk and connecting them to treatment, this initiative will prevent strokes, heart attacks, motor vehicle accidents, workplace injuries, and premature deaths and literally save lives before tragedy strikes. For every responsible company that participates in this initiative, and for every life screened, #WakeUpTrinbago turns awareness into survival, because a nation that sleeps well, lives well.
A Pledge With Purpose:
Dentulu and ISD Health Solutions have pledged that “When we reach our goal: 100 Days, 100 Companies, 10,000 Lives Treated we will donate $7 MILLION TTD equivalent to approximately $1,000,000 USD divided between 10 local nonprofit organizations serving the people of Trinidad & Tobago, explains Dr. Hakhamian” Non Governmental Organizations like Arrive Alive, The Diabetes Association of Trinidad and Tobago (DATT), Kids in need of Direction (KIND Trinidad) and The Massy Foundation have already been shortlisted as non profits that will be beneficiaries amongst others.
Gregory Arneaud, Founder and CEO of ISD Health Solutions, a ResMed Authorized Caribbean Distributor, added: “This initiative represents the power of collaboration with Caribbean clinical expertise combined with US Board Certified Sleep Physicians accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and Dentulu’s award-winning digital infrastructure. Together we are turning awareness into action.” Gregory Arneaud, Sleep Ambassador for the Caribbean Region who’s parents are Trinidadian Natives and author of The Wake Up Call: How You Sleep Is How You Live!, commented: “For more than 25 years, I’ve seen first-hand how sleep disorders silently damage families and careers in the Caribbean. #WakeUpTrinbago is a movement to educate and empower our people to sleep better, live stronger, and work safer.”
The Oil and Energy Conference embodies Trinidad’s industrial heartbeat, where safety, performance, and innovation intersect. Sleep-related fatigue is a major factor in industrial accidents and productivity loss. By launching at this venue, Dentulu and ISD Health Solutions are making a statement: healthy sleep is essential to a safe and sustainable energy sector.
The culmination of this initiative will be a Gala celebrating the commitment and impact of the participating companies and the announcement of the recipients of the $1,000,000 donation to the respective non-profit organizations.
