Home testing devices offer a convenient, private way of monitoring sleep, either as an adjunct or alternative to a sleep lab study.

To diagnose sleep apnea, it is necessary to monitor what happens while you are sleeping. In a sleep lab, technicians can evaluate you overnight, but some find this prospect, and its price tag, intimidating.

As Sleepminder monitors sleep without even touching the patient it is part of a general trend towards home sleep testing.

Rather than taking business away from sleep labs, Sleepminder may actually steer clients their way, serving as an impetus for patients to pursue the test or for professionals to recommend it, as sleep studies can often measure additional parameters.
