Michael Coppola (Photo: Business Wire) Dr. Coppola was selected based upon his extensive background in Sleep and Pulmonary Medicine, public health policy patient advocacy, medical leadership, and scholarly activities. Dr. Coppola is most recognized for initiating the first case series employing Home Sleep Testing for Obstructive Sleep Apnea, published in CHEST in 1993. Home Sleep Testing has now become a primary tool for the diagnosis of Obstructive Sleep Apnea. A graduate of Fordham College, New York, NY, Dr. Coppola earned a medical degree from Georgetown University and completed his residency in Internal Medicine and subspecialty training in Pulmonary Medicine at Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, DC. He was awarded membership in Phi Beta Kappa and Alpha Omega Alpha, the national medical honor society. Dr. Coppola practiced Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine at Springfield Medical Associates in Springfield, MA before joining NovaSom in July 2012. Dr. Coppola resides in Longmeadow, MA with his wife Ann Zumwalt. They have two children, Lauren and Camille. NovaSom, Inc. is a leader in Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) home testing, with the AccuSom® home sleep test, the only comprehensively supported home sleep test that provides continuous patient support and next-day test results and interpretation for health care professionals. The FDA-cleared AccuSom® is as accurate as sleep lab testing, and significantly more convenient and comfortable for patients. Patients are able to test around their own schedule and can sleep in their own bed, which helps eliminate "first night" effect and improves data collection. AccuSom® is currently covered for 200 million commercially insured U.S. lives. NovaSom is accredited by the Joint Commission as an Ambulatory Care Sleep Diagnostic Center & Telehealth Provider, and is classified by CMS as an Independent Diagnostic Testing Facility.
