Douglas Krohn, MD
Founder, Konk Sleep
“As a physician, you see the downstream effects of untreated sleep apnea every day—fatigue, metabolic disorders, cardiovascular risks, and more. The problem isn’t awareness; it’s access. That’s why I built Konk —to eliminate barriers and make sleep apnea treatment seamless for both patients and their doctors.”
