Diagnostic
Home Sleep Apnea Test
A Home Sleep Apnea Test lets you screen for obstructive sleep apnea in your
own bed.
What is Home Sleep Apnea Test?
A Home Sleep Apnea Test lets you screen for obstructive sleep apnea in your own bed. We send you home with a small, easy-to-use device that records your breathing, oxygen, and heart rate overnight. For uncomplicated cases it’s an accurate, convenient first step.
Why is it done?
It’s a great fit when obstructive sleep apnea is likely and the case is straightforward. It helps evaluate:
What it can find
Whether breathing pauses during sleep
How often and how severe they are
Your overnight oxygen levels

We fit it and walk you through the simple set-up.

You wear the sensors for one night in your own bed.

Results & next steps
A sleep physician reviews your results and, if apnea is confirmed, moves straight to treatment options. If the test is inconclusive but symptoms continue, an in-lab study gives the full picture.
Frequently asked questions
Is a home test as good as the lab?
For straightforward obstructive sleep apnea, yes. For complex cases — or a negative test with ongoing symptoms — an in-lab study is more complete.
What if I dislodge a sensor overnight?
The device is forgiving, and we show you what to do. If the night isn’t usable, we simply repeat it.
