Rate My Professor Michi Imazu

Michi Imazu is a Clinical Physiologist at the University of Otago, Wellington, within the Division of Health Sciences. Imazu works as part of the clinical physiologists team at the WellSleep Sleep Investigation Centre in the Department of Medicine, supporting sleep disorder investigations through polysomnography and related clinical physiology services.

Imazu has been acknowledged for contributions to research conducted at WellSleep on obstructive sleep apnoea and positive airway pressure therapies. Specific acknowledgments include the 2010 publication in the journal Sleep by J. Bakker et al., 'Effects on Compliance, Objective and Subjective Sleepiness, and Quality of Life of Humidified Versus Non-Humidified Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Use During Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Titration for Obstructive Sleep Apnea'. Imazu is also thanked in the 2011 Journal of Sleep Research paper by Bakker et al., 'Randomised controlled trial of auto-adjusting positive airway pressure in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea'. Further thanks for polysomnographic expertise appear in randomised controlled crossover trials of humidified continuous positive airway pressure and systematic reviews of PAP for OSA. In 2015, Imazu co-authored an abstract with Angela Campbell and Alister Neill reviewing split night polysomnography studies, published in Sleep and Biological Rhythms.
