Group 11 operates in the Hospital Clinic of Barcelona (HCB) (Coordinator Dr Josep M . Montserrat, HCB Senior Consultant, director of the Sleep Unit and Professor University of Barcelona (UB) . The group includes sleep units from the following Hospitals in Barcelona: Sagrat Cor, San Pablo, Bellvitge and La Fe from Valencia . The group’s activities are divided into five components: basic, clinical and technological aspects; collaboration with the COST-European Group Action; and own group activities .
• Basic aspects on collaboration with Professor Daniel Navajas’s (UB) group. We have jointly developed animal models of sleep apnea (supported by FIS 11/01892 . Papers more representatives (R), Torres 2014 SLEEP, Dalmases SLEEP 2014) .
• Clinical aspects, in collaboration with PII Group of SEPAR (previously directed by Dr Montserrat). This collaboration has enabled to perform the large multicenter studies of the Spanish sleep group . Papers (R), Masa et al . Sleep 2014 and the ones led by the members of our group Martinez-Garcia et al . SLEEP MED 2014, Martinez-Garcia et al . ERJ 2014) (Supported by Dr Masa FIS PI 13/02638, and SEPAR .
• Regarding the technological studies, we have developed a platform for patient care (technology knowledge transfer and visits by videoconference (collaboration with Dr . Isetta, Biomedical engineer, Dr Navajas group) (Paper (R) Isetta . Interact J Med Res . 2014)(Supported by FIS PI14/0041 and SEPAR special grant) .
• In the context of the European Group the most important publications have been related to European database (Kent ERJ 2014) .
• Finally, the group is analyzing the relation between apnea and cancer, or obesity or aging (Support FUCAP and SOCAP . Paper (R): Salord JCSM 2014 and Dalmses Sleep 2014)
The group is currently working on developing a Virtual Sleep Unit and col .laborate wit Esteve-Teijin, Respironics and SIBEL .
