ResMed Inc. is a medical technology company focused on sleep health, respiratory care, and out-of-hospital healthcare software solutions. The company develops and manufactures cloud-connected medical devices and digital health platforms primarily used to diagnose, treat, and manage sleep apnea, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other respiratory disorders. ResMed operates within the global healthcare equipment, medical devices, and healthcare software industries, with recurring revenue generated through device sales, masks and consumables, and software-as-a-service offerings.

ResMed was founded in 1989 by Peter Farrell following research related to sleep-disordered breathing technologies developed by Dr. Colin Sullivan. The company expanded from its original continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device business into a broader digital health and connected-care platform provider through acquisitions and software investments. ResMed is widely recognized for its connected device ecosystem, large installed base in sleep apnea therapy, and integrated cloud-based patient monitoring infrastructure, which supports remote patient management and compliance tracking across healthcare networks.
