Sophisticated at home sleep testing

The past decade has seen a growing trend in the market favoring at-home sleep testing and the emergence of sophisticated testing equipment including The WatchPAT. These types of devices don't require a referral and can determine whether or not you have sleep apnea in a single night!

Introducing the WatchPAT

Home sleep test equipment that sits on your wrist while you sleep, just like a watch.

The WatchPAT: How it works

A convenient, quick and simple option to diagnose sleep apnea.

It’s connected to a reader which sits over the index finger. This reader is able to measure up to 7 different aspects (PAT signal, heart race, oximetry, actigraphy, body position, snoring, and chest motion).

The raw data obtained is downloaded, and reviewed by a qualified Sleep & Respiratory Physician.

A report is generated detailing obstructive and central sleep apnea events. This gives information on True Sleep & Sleep Staging.
