-- At Home Sleep Apnea Testing has announced the availability of WatchPAT ONE, an FDA-cleared, disposable home sleep apnea diagnostic device, for patients in Santa Barbara, CA.

This announcement comes at a time when sleep apnea remains widely underdiagnosed across the United States. According to the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, obstructive sleep apnea affected an estimated 14% of men and 5% of women ages 30 to 70, yet many cases remain undiagnosed due to limited access to in-lab testing. At Home Sleep Apnea Testing has positioned WatchPAT ONE to address this gap, connecting Santa Barbara-area patients with a faster, more accessible path to diagnosis.
The device uses peripheral arterial tone technology along with sensors placed on the wrist, finger, and chest to record data during sleep. After a single use, the device is disposed of, and recorded data is transmitted for analysis. An At Home Sleep Apnea Testing representative notes that a sleep physician then reviews the results and provides a diagnostic report, typically within 24 to 48 hours of test completion.

Patients are connected to the testing process through a brief intake form or a virtual consultation with a sleep physician, reducing the wait times often associated with scheduling an in-person sleep medicine appointment. WatchPAT ONE is indicated for use in patients aged 12 and older; some measured parameters carry an age restriction of 17 and older, and the device is not indicated for children under 12 or those weighing less than 65 pounds.
"WatchPAT ONE allows patients to complete a sleep study overnight in their own home rather than spending a night connected to equipment in a sleep lab," explains an At Home Sleep Apnea Testing spokesperson. "Earlier diagnosis can support timely treatment planning for patients showing symptoms such as snoring, daytime fatigue, or pauses in breathing during sleep."
Results from WatchPAT ONE are intended to assist a physician's diagnosis and not as a standalone basis for clinical decisions.
