The basics of this service

What the test is for

The patient wears a ring on their thumb overnight to record several breathing parameters during sleep. The data is used to assess the presence and severity of sleep apnea.

It is recommended for:

  • Loud snoring
  • Chronic fatigue or daytime sleepiness
  • Frequent awakenings during the night
  • Breathing pauses observed during sleep
  • Morning headaches
  • Hard-to-control high blood pressure
  • Sleep disorders suspected by a doctor

How it works, simply put

The ring records several parameters while you sleep: breathing, oxygen levels and heart rate. The test is non-invasive and takes place in the comfort of your own home.
