Rebis Research Institute:

Leading Sleep Health Research for Better Patient Outcomes

Advancing Sleep Medicine Through Evidence-Based Research

The Rebis Research Institute is the outcomes research and data analytics division of Rebis, transforming real-world patient experiences into groundbreaking discoveries that improve sleep health outcomes while reducing healthcare costs. We bridge the gap between traditional symptom-focused approaches and comprehensive care that aims to address underlying causes through information gained from rigorous scientific studies.

Core Research Areas

  • We conduct prospective studies examining how integrating sleep medicine, functional medicine, and airway dentistry impacts outcomes compared to single-specialty approaches. Current research focuses on Dr. David McCarty's Five Finger Approach—addressing breathing problems, medication effects, circadian rhythms, medical factors, and environmental influences together for targeting faster recovery and sustained improvements.

  • Our return-on-investment analyses aim to understand how multidisciplinary sleep care impacts overall healthcare spending while improving outcomes. We track a variety of non-sleep outcomes with the aim of providing employers and insurers concrete evidence that comprehensive sleep health programs can deliver measurable financial returns.

  • We are invested in identifying specific biomarkers that can predict treatment success and guide personalized therapy. This includes examining how targeted interventions addressing micronutrient deficiencies, hormone imbalances, and gut-brain-sleep axis dysfunction impact lasting sleep quality outcomes.

  • Our research examines how mandibular advancement devices, myofunctional therapy, and structural airway treatments relate to other broader health outcomes including blood pressure, diabetes risk, and cardiac events. As well as, comparing results to other treatment strategies such as CPAP therapy in terms of patient satisfaction and adherence.

  • We partner to evaluate digital health tools to provide clinically meaningful data and improve patient engagement, such as how artificial intelligence can analyze sleep patterns to predict treatment outcomes, identify at-risk patients, and personalize intervention strategies.

  • We aim to create longitudinal studies to track how early sleep interventions affect cognitive development, academic performance, behavioral regulation, and physical growth, helping to understand how the timing of treating pediatric sleep disorders impacts growth and supports optimal development.
