With a recognition of how intimidating it can be for many people to go through a formal sleep assessment in a lab or hospital, the guide explains how the latest technology facilitates sleep apnea testing at home.
Statistics from the National Council on Aging show that around 936 million adults around the world suffer from mild to severe obstructive sleep apnea, which can lead to kidney, heart, or metabolic health complications if left untreated. To help educate consumers about available testing options, the At Home Sleep Apnea team explains why it is not necessary to spend the night hooked up to wires in a lab.
“In recent years, the landscape of diagnosing sleep apnea has undergone a significant transformation, thanks to advances in technology,” says a spokesperson. “Home sleep apnea testing has emerged as a convenient, accessible alternative to traditional in-lab sleep studies, and we delve further into the pivotal role that technology plays.”
Starting with a brief overview of how the sleep apnea diagnosis field has evolved, the guide describes traditional sleep clinic methods, in which polysomnography is used to assess patient data. Although this method is comprehensive and effective, it is also inconvenient and can be cost-prohibitive.
The guide then moves to an explanation of how emerging technology - like the WatchPAT One home testing device - offers a number of benefits in terms of sleep apnea testing at home, like the comfort of sleeping in one’s own bed, affordability, accessibility, and greater chance of patient compliance.
Finally, readers can also learn how the WatchPAT One uses a simple finger sensor to gather data, and how it connects with a mobile app to send results to a panel of sleep experts for rapid analysis, allowing for treatment to commence in a timely fashion.
