The WatchPAT One is designed with minimal components—a wrist-worn device connected to a finger probe and a chest sensor. This system eliminates the need to attend a sleep lab or wear bulky equipment that was previously used in sleep quality testing, aimed at providing a much simpler and easier assessment.
According to the American Sleep Apnea Association, sleep apnea affects approximately 22 million Americans, with 80% of moderate and severe cases remaining undiagnosed. The National Sleep Foundation reports that untreated sleep apnea increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes significantly.
Despite its compact size, the WatchPAT One is designed to monitor a variety of sleep parameters. These include peripheral arterial tone, heart rate, and oxygen saturation, all used by clinicians to assess sleep patterns. This technology identifies various severity levels of sleep apnea, making it a versatile tool suitable for different patient needs.
"Traditional diagnosis involved attending a sleep lab, which creates barriers for many patients," a company representative explains. "The goal is to improve diagnosis rates and help more people access the treatment they need."
The introduction of home-based testing aims to address the convenience issues that prevent many individuals from seeking proper diagnosis. Traditional sleep studies require overnight stays at medical facilities, which can be uncomfortable and inconvenient for patients with busy schedules or anxiety about sleeping in unfamiliar environments.
"The home sleep test was convenient and easy to use. I was considering a sleep study at a facility, but felt uncomfortable about sleeping somewhere unfamiliar. After researching at-home options, this kit had excellent reviews. The experience was straightforward from start to finish, taking less than a week to complete testing and receive a diagnosis," one client recently stated.
