She has presented on more than 100 international and national platforms and in media relations to raise awareness of sleep disorders. Dr. Walia has led numerous clinical trials and real-world research projects on sleep apnea treatment, including upper airway stimulation and health outcomes, ranging from patient-reported outcomes to cardiometabolic disorders. She and her team have demonstrated that improving sleep disorders can improve patients’ quality of life, depressive symptoms and insomnia symptoms, and have garnered various national awards. Her research has also shown that obstructive sleep apnea is associated with recalcitrant blood pressure and that treatment can improve blood pressure. Her research has been published in several high-impact, peer-reviewed journals such as CHEST, JAMA Otolaryngology and Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine. She serves on numerous local and national committees for sleep medicine.
