-- Residents across Fresno and the Central Valley can now access the WatchPAT One compact diagnostics kit through At Home Sleep Apnea Testing, following a recent expansion of the company's home-based screening program. The device captures clinically relevant sleep data overnight, offering an alternative to traditional laboratory studies that often involve extended scheduling delays and in-person clinical visits.

The expansion comes as sleep apnea remains significantly underdiagnosed across the United States. A 2024 study published in Respiratory Medicine found that 83.7 million American adults live with obstructive sleep apnea, with the condition going undiagnosed in the majority of cases. For residents in inland regions like Fresno, where access to sleep disorder specialists can be limited by travel distances and long wait times, home-based testing may help address an important gap in care.
The WatchPAT One system uses a compact wearable setup — a wrist device, finger probe, and chest sensor — to monitor key indicators for obstructive sleep apnea overnight, including respiratory activity, oxygen saturation, pulse rate, and sleep stage patterns. The company notes that the kit is designed to replace the need for multiple wired sensors and overnight clinical visits, allowing users to complete the full screening process at home.
"Convenience continues to be one of the main reasons many people delay sleep testing," a company spokesperson said. "Home-based monitoring can help simplify the process while still providing detailed overnight sleep information for professional review."
According to the company, individuals complete a brief online screening before receiving the testing kit and companion mobile app for guided setup and overnight monitoring. After the session, sleep data is securely transmitted for professional review, with results and recommendations typically delivered within 48 hours.
