Home Sleep Study
What is a Home Sleep Study?
When you want to find out if you have sleep apnea without having to make a doctor's appointment and spend months on waiting lists, there is a simple test you can do at home.
All you need is our simple home sleep study device, and you're good to go. Purchase a Home Sleep Study here at our partner company, or get in contact with us if you require further information.
To do the test, follow your routine sleeping schedule. Before you go to sleep, place the finger probe on your finger to monitor your heart rate as well as oxygen levels. You'll also put sensors on your chest to test the rise and fall of your lungs, which indicate the inhale and exhale of oxygen.
We utilise a WatchPAT device for our test. It is a small wrist mounted device which allows testing in the comfort of the patient’s own home in the analysis of Sleep Breathing Disorders (SBD), specifically Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).
WatchPAT has been clinically validated against the "Gold Standard", polysomnography (PSG), with a documented correlation of up to 89% to PSG, with a less than 1% clinical failure rate.
The main advantage of at-home sleep apnea tests is that it is much more convenient, and can be completed any night that you choose. You follow your normal routine in the evenings and only attach the device before you go to sleep. As you will be in the comfort of your own bed, the Home Sleep Study will measure a 'true' night's sleep, with the results reflecting your normal sleeping state.
These tests are also a lot cheaper, and in some cases, your insurance might cover it. Finally, you'll get much faster results.
The WatchPAT's advanced software provides a clinically validated algorithm that measures all sleep stages: light, deep, and REM sleep. It provides information on sleep quality including sleep efficiency, sleep latency and REM latency. It also provides added value of detecting REM related sleep apnea with REM and non-REM AHI (Apnea Hypopnea Index).
