Corby sleep apnoea sleep-tracker trial attracting attention from medics across UK

Corby sleep apnoea sleep-tracker trial attracting attention from medics across UK Some of Corby’s estimated 1,500 obstructive sleep apnoea sufferers have paved the way for easier diagnosis for patients around the UK after taking part in a ground-breaking trial.
