COAST® Clinical Spotlight Series
Highlighting the successes of our Healthcare Partners & Champions, and how they use COAST® in their specific workflows.
Turning the Waitlist Into a Head Start
In our first Clinical Spotlight, we highlight the work of Dr. Brad Wolgast, Ph.D., CBSM, DBSM in using COAST® to engage his patients ahead of their first in-person visit.
The Challenge
For Dr. Brad Wolgast, the growing demand for personalized insomnia care created a challenge: how to reach more patients without adding more people to his in-person schedule. Instead of letting patients simply wait, he wanted to find a way to get them started sooner.
The Approach
Dr. Wolgast incorporated COAST® into his workflow, giving patients a way to begin their sleep care journey before their first in-person visit. Through COAST, patients report on their sleep and daytime wellbeing, receive personalized guidance, and begin building sleep-promoting behaviors. Meanwhile, Dr. Wolgast can review their data and progress through the clinician platform, allowing him to stay involved and better understand each patient before they walk through the door.
