La Clef du Sommeil inc.

What La Clef du Sommeil inc. does

La Clef du Sommeil inc. is a privately held, Quebec-based specialty sleep-medicine clinic founded in October 2009 by Évelyne Desjardins, a respiratory therapist and polysomnography technician. The company operates four clinic locations across Quebec — Saint-Alphonse-de-Granby (headquarters and laboratory site), Drummondville, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, and Sherbrooke — providing an end-to-end sleep-disorder care pathway from screening and diagnostic testing through treatment, device provisioning, and long-term follow-up. Its clinical team of respiratory therapists, nurses, and a polysomnography technician operates under the oversight of Dr. Éric Frenette, a sleep neurologist certified by the Board of Registered Polysomnographic Technologists (BRPT) and the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.

The diagnostic portfolio centers on laboratory polysomnography (PSG), home-based cardiorespiratory sleep polygraphy (PCRS) with seven recording channels including ECG, spirometry for chronic respiratory disease, and the CardioStat portable cardiac monitor for 48-hour to 14-day arrhythmia detection. Treatment offerings consist of CPAP and BiPAP device sales and rentals across ResMed (AirSense S10, AirSense 11, AirMini), Philips (DreamStation 2), and Fisher & Paykel (SleepStyle) lines, supported by real-time cellular data transmission, an online consumables store, and structured follow-up protocols. The company reports a CPAP compliance rate of 85% for equipment purchased on-site.

The business model combines professional service fees for diagnostics and consultations, hardware sales and rentals for CPAP/BiPAP devices, recurring revenue from CPAP consumables (masks, filters, tubing, humidifiers, batteries, cleaning products), and follow-up monitoring services. Pricing is per-service and per-device, with insurance verification assistance and a 2025 patient-financing partnership with IFXpress. Go-to-market is sales-led and appointment-based, with online self-service booking, a content-marketing blog, and a deliberate physician/dentist referral channel as primary demand sources. In 2018, the company received Accreditation Canada's Qmentum 'Mention d'Honneur' with 98% of 289+ quality standards met, one of few sleep-medicine organizations in Canada to earn this distinction.
