If you

WatchPAT Home Sleep TestingObstructive Sleep Apnea is a condition where interruptions in your breathing occur while you're sleeping causing your body to react with disruptive and potentially life threatening long-term implications. The most often observed symptom is loud, disruptive snoring, but that is not always present. Periods of silence or interruptions in breathing lasting more than 10 seconds indicates a person with a high likelihood for Sleep Apnea. Diagnosing the condition and its severity is the first step to addressing it. New technologies have made diagnosis easier than ever before. New methods for being diagnosed in the comfort of your own bed, at a fraction of the cost of Hospital or Lab based facilities are now available. Our WatchPAT 200 Sleep Study system is the most patient -friendly and highly validated platform available, requiring little more than wearing a Wristwatch to bed for one evening. If the diagnosis is positive, numerous options for treatment exist, including lifestyle changes, Oral Appliance Therapy, CPAP and airway surgery.
