The Convenient First Step to Diagnose Sleep Apnea at Home.
A simplified, portable sleep study that the patient self-administers in the comfort of their own home. It is designed specifically to screen for moderate to severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).
Key Features & What is Measured (Typically 4-7 Channels):
- Airflow: Measures breathing through a nasal cannula.
- Respiratory Effort: Uses belts around the chest and abdomen.
- Oxygen Saturation (SpO2): Via a finger probe.
- Heart Rate/Pulse: Often derived from the oximeter.
Ideal Patient Profile:
- Adults with a high pre-test probability of uncomplicated OSA (e.g., high STOP-Bang score, loud snoring, witnessed apneas, obesity).
- Patients hesitant about an in-lab study due to cost, convenience, or anxiety.
- Follow-up for previously diagnosed OSA to assess therapy efficacy.
- Corporate wellness programs and younger, tech-savvy patients seeking a discreet option.
Exclusion Criteria (Mandatory):
- Suspected non-OSA sleep disorders (e.g., Narcolepsy, Insomnia, RBD).
- Significant cardiopulmonary disease, neuromuscular weakness, or congestive heart failure.
- Chronic opioid use.
Value Proposition for the Patient:
"Regain your energy from the comfort of your own bed. The HSAT is a convenient, cost-effective, and reliable way to determine if sleep apnea is the cause of your fatigue and snoring. It’s the smart first step for many."
