CAMS™ 2026: Keep the Conversation Going 😊
What an incredible weekend—and this is where the next chapter begins!
Welcome to our CAMS™ community forum, a place for attendees, speakers, and implementation partners to stay connected, ask questions, share experiences, and help each other put what we learned into practice.
Let’s start with three questions:
-
What is one takeaway from CAMS™ that changed how you think about sleep and airway health?
-
What is one step you plan to take in your practice—and what help would make it easier?
-
What question did you leave with, or wish we’d had more time to discuss?
You don’t need a polished question or a success story to contribute. An idea, a challenge, or “Where do I start?” is enough. If discussing a patient case, please leave out identifying information.
Our goal is to carry this collaboration back into our communities and build stronger connections and Sleep/Sleep Apnea ECOSYSTEMS between the people who recognize the problem and those who can help.
Knowledge → Implementation → Transformation.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you!
(1) One key takeaway from CAMS™ was the importance of incorporating myofunctional training into the evaluation and treatment of pediatric/adult airway health. It reinforced my understanding that healthy sleep involves more than simply treating symptoms; it also means addressing the underlying function of the oral and airway structures to support proper breathing, development, and sleep quality
(2) One step I plan to take is to incorporate additional pediatric airway and myofunctional therapy resources into our EHR so they are easily accessible when evaluating and treating patients. I have already connected with a couple of implementation partners to help facilitate testing for my pediatric patients. I have also shared Pristine’s billing contact with a colleague to explore options for medical billing of dental devices in our office. Having readily available referral resources, established partnerships, and guidance on billing and implementation would make it easier to translate what I learned into practice and provide more comprehensive care for our patients.
(3) I wish we had more time to explore/collaborate on additional technologies/AI and tools that can improve clinical workflows, streamline patient referrals, and make it easier to implement airway-focused care into everyday practice. I would have liked to learn more about practical solutions that help improve efficiency while enhancing patient care.
Julie, this is exactly the kind of action CAMS was created to inspire! You’re already building resources into your EHR, connecting with testing partners, and sharing billing contacts with a colleague—turning knowledge into implementation that can reach more patients.
Your takeaway about oral and airway function also highlights the value of bringing different disciplines together and knowing when to involve the appropriate team members.
Thank you for the thoughtful feedback on AI, technology, and workflows. As we develop Sarasota 2027, I want to create more time for these practical conversations: how to simplify referrals, strengthen follow-through, and make implementation easier in everyday practice.
Please keep us posted here on your progress and any roadblocks. Your experience can help this entire community move forward!
this is a link to a great article that was sent to me by Dr. Dimi Barot. it was written by a colleague of his and it is pretty amazing reporting on significant decrease in cognition, even in “mild osa“ that are asymptomatic otherwise
I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who attended the inaugural CAMS Summit! It was a fantastic event, and I really enjoyed connecting with so many passionate professionals who are working to advance sleep and airway medicine.
I also want to thank Dr. Cuartas and Tanya for putting together such a great event!
As we continue the conversations started at CAMS, please know that I'm always happy to be a resource for anyone who has questions about oral appliance therapy, treatment options, or integrating oral appliances into their practice.
Looking forward to staying connected and continuing to collaborate!
Thank you, Ashish! You and the Panthera team helped bring the CAMS™ vision to life. Your willingness to share your knowledge, answer questions, and help clinicians take the next step is exactly what being an Implementation Partner is all about.
I especially appreciate your offer to remain a resource. The summit starts the conversations, but the ongoing support helps turn knowledge into implementation—and ultimately, better care for our patients. Grateful to have you in this community and excited to keep building together!
