SleepQuest Presents An At-Home Diagnostic Alternative
As an innovative leader in the diagnosis and treatment of the millions of patients suffering from sleep-related breathing disorders we have recently added a new technology to our line up of sophisticated, portable home testing services. The Watch_PAT100, by Itamar Technologies, is a non-invasive, FDA approved device for patient-friendly at-home diagnostic evaluation.

This self-contained device is worn on the wrist and uses a non-invasive finger mounted probe to measure peripheral arterial tone (PAT). Peripheral arterial tone accurately identifies respiratory events during sleep. In addition to the PAT Signal, the Watch_PAT100 records oxygen saturation, pulse rate, movement (actigraphy) and sleep/wake states.

The results from a Watch_PAT study have been proven to highly correlate to the sensitivity and specificity of a traditional lab-based polysomnogram. Each sleep study report is carefully interpreted by a board certified sleep physician.

SleepQuest's At-Home Testing May Be Right for You:

  • Faster turnaround time than a lab
  • Complete diagnostic report returned to you and your doctor
  • Low study failure rate compared to other testing methods
  • User-friendly, simplified testing device
  • Minimal interruption, test takes place in the privacy and comfort of your own bed
  • You choose when to go to sleep and when to get up in the morning
