About
Professor Malcolm Kohler is a leading figure in sleep medicine, with a research focus centered on the pathophysiology and innovative treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). His major contributions lie in advancing non-invasive therapeutic strategies, particularly for positional OSA (POSA), a common subtype where airway collapse is aggravated by supine sleep. In a notable 2025 randomized cross-over pilot trial, Kohler pioneered the evaluation of robotic beds designed to automatically reposition patients during sleep, demonstrating a novel, patient-centered approach to avoiding the supine position. This work, already garnering early citations, underscores his commitment to translating engineering solutions into clinical practice. Beyond this, Kohler’s broader impact is reflected in his extensive body of work on cardiovascular outcomes in sleep-disordered breathing, with his publications collectively cited thousands of times, shaping international treatment guidelines. His achievements include leadership roles in major respiratory societies and mentorship of a new generation of sleep researchers, cementing his reputation as a transformative thinker in the field.
