Home Sleep Apnea Testing

Home sleep apnea testing is a simplified way to diagnose sleep-related breathing disorders without an overnight stay in a sleep lab. Using a compact monitoring device, patients can track key metrics like airflow, oxygen saturation, and respiratory effort from the comfort of their own bed. This makes it easier for individuals to follow through with testing and provides clinicians with valuable data to guide treatment decisions. For patients experiencing snoring, fatigue, or disrupted sleep, this service offers an accessible, lower-cost path to a diagnosis.

The process begins with a consultation to determine whether home testing is appropriate. If so, the patient receives a small portable monitor with easy-to-follow instructions. The device is typically worn on the finger, chest, and/or face and records data while the patient sleeps. Once the device is returned, the recorded information is interpreted by a sleep specialist to identify signs of obstructive or central sleep apnea. This method allows for a timely and comfortable diagnosis that aligns with everyday life.
