Dr. Colin Sullivan

Dr. Colin Sullivan is a prominent Australian physician and researcher known for his significant contributions to sleep medicine. He is particularly recognized for developing Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy, a crucial treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. This condition, characterized by interrupted breathing during sleep, can lead to various health issues. CPAP treatment uses a machine to deliver air pressure through a mask, keeping the airways open during sleep. Dr. Sullivan's work has greatly improved the quality of life for many patients suffering from sleep-disordered breathing and has advanced the understanding of sleep health globally.
