For people suffering from Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), the first step towards a solution is to understand the severity of their symptoms. Their Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) is a good indicator of the type of treatment they should undertake. Therefore, taking asleep test is best practice.
The Good Sleep Test in-home Monitoring device, allows patients to test their sleep in the convenience of their own bed. Results from their test are sent directly to their practitioner. This means ongoing monitoring is easily achievable. There is no need for patients to use a sleep lab, as they can complete their testing at home, in comfort, when it suits them. The device is worn on the wrist, and over the index finger during sleep, with data from the test being recorded via the Sleep Care App on the patients’ smart phone. The Good Sleep Test enables patients to test whether they have hidden sleep issues, in real time. It also enables practitioners to see the same data, and generate a diagnostic report from it instantly

The Good Sleep Test is used during sleep, to monitor sleep quality. The device consists of a Wrist band and Finger sensor (Pulse oximeter). These connect via Bluetooth, to send data including blood oxygen saturation, pulse and potential ‘awake times’, to the SleepCare App during sleep. The data is available in real time to both the patient, and their respective practitioner, who can access it through patient management software, Resdent.
Once a test (or series of tests) is completed by the patient, the results are analysed by a certified sleep specialist, and a Specialist Sleep Report is generated. The detailed Sleep Report is sent to the practitioner, enabling them to provide a diagnosis and treatment plan for the patient.
The Good Sleep Test can be used after treatment for OSA has commenced, to track patient progress and ongoing sleep quality, and adjust treatment as needed.
Millions of people suffer from undiagnosed sleep apnea, a condition that can have serious health consequences. Dentists are uniquely positioned to screen, diagnose, and provide effective treatment options for these patients.
