Both options are physician-reviewed and designed to guide effective treatment based on your symptoms, health history, and diagnostic needs.
Home Sleep Apnea Testing
- What Is a Home Sleep Apnea Test?
A home sleep apnea test is a simple, portable diagnostic study used to detect obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) from the comfort of your own home. It collects data to help identify breathing problems effectively.
- Comfortable Testing at Home
Sleep in your own bed and maintain your normal nightly routine while the device collects accurate sleep data. No overnight clinic stay is required, making the test comfortable, and easy to complete at home.
- What the Test Measures
The device records essential sleep data to identify breathing disruptions associated with sleep apnea. These measurements help your doctor detect patterns that may indicate underlying sleep-related breathing disorders.
- Airflow Monitoring
Nasal sensors track airflow throughout the night to detect pauses or reductions in breathing during sleep. This information helps identify apnea or hypopnea events that may affect oxygen levels and overall sleep quality.
- Breathing Effort Tracking
Soft belts placed around the chest or abdomen measure how hard your body works to breathe overnight. This data helps distinguish between normal breathing patterns and abnormal respiratory effort during sleep.
- Oxygen Saturation Levels
A small fingertip sensor monitors blood oxygen levels to assess how well oxygen circulates while you sleep. Drops in oxygen saturation may indicate breathing interruptions related to sleep apnea events.
- Fast and Accurate Diagnosis
With just one night of testing, your doctor can determine the presence and severity of moderate to severe sleep apnea. Results are reviewed quickly to help guide appropriate treatment decisions.
- Home Test vs. In-Lab Sleep Study
Home testing is ideal for uncomplicated OSA cases, while in-lab studies provide deeper analysis for complex sleep disorders. Your provider will recommend the most appropriate option based on your medical history.
