The American Sleep Apnea Association (ASAA) is a non-profit organization founded in 1990 by persons with sleep apnea, health care providers and researchers.[2] The association offers education and advocacy services to improve the lives of sleep apnea patients.

In March 2016, the organization partnered with IBM Watson to launch a ResearchKit study app called SleepHealth, to study the connection between sleep habits and health outcomes.[3]
