What is your sleep really telling you about your long-term health? In this episode, Peggy Smedley sits down with Dr. Pierre Escourrou, Senior Medical Advisor at Withings and practicing cardiologist, to unpack groundbreaking research linking nighttime breathing patterns to arterial aging — and what that means for your cardiovascular health.

They explore:

• How sleep apnea and snoring accelerate arterial stiffness
• Why a single night of sleep data leads to 20% misdiagnosis rates — and how continuous monitoring changes that
• The power of connected device ecosystems (IoT) over standalone wearables
• How AI + IoT data is shifting medicine from treatment to prevention
• What conditions — including hypertension, heart failure, COPD, and menopause — may be detectable years earlier using devices like the Withings Sleep Analyzer and smart scale
• The regulatory and insurance hurdles still standing in the way

Whether you're a health tech enthusiast, a clinician, or someone who just wants to understand their sleep data better, this episode is packed with insights you won't want to miss.
