Why a Home Sleep Study?
Home sleep studies are convenient!
Welcome to our comprehensive guide on sleep studies. If you have reached this page, you are likely exploring solutions for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) or considering CPAP therapy. One essential step in diagnosing OSA is a sleep study, and today, more people are choosing the convenience and comfort of home sleep studies over traditional in-lab tests.
Home sleep studies offer a host of advantages. First and foremost, they allow you to undergo testing in the comfort of your own bed, providing a more natural sleep environment, which can lead to more accurate results. This can be particularly beneficial for those who find it difficult to sleep in unfamiliar settings.
Additionally, home sleep studies are typically more accessible and affordable. They eliminate the need for overnight stays at a sleep clinic, reducing both cost and the hassle of scheduling and traveling. The simplicity of setting up the testing equipment at home means you can easily fit the study into your daily routine. The wait time for an in-lab study in Nova Scotia is over six months.
By choosing a home sleep study, you are opting for a convenient, cost-effective, and accurate method to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea. This crucial first step can lead to effective treatment, improved sleep quality, and better overall health. If you suspect you have OSA or are seeking a diagnosis, a home sleep study could be the ideal choice for you.
What to expect?
At your appointment at one of our convenient locations, you will meet our knowledgeable coordinator, find the right equipment for your needs, take the device home and wear overnight while you sleep in your own bed. You then return it the next day as arranged with your coordinator.
You do not require a physician to arrange your study. We will download the data and send a result to your physician, or help you if you do not have one.
At no cost to you. Could it be easier?

SleepImage Ring: A Revolutionary Home Sleep Study Device
The SleepImage Ring
The SleepImage Ring is a breakthrough in home sleep testing, offering a comfortable and accurate way to evaluate your sleep health from the comfort of your own bed. Designed for ease of use, the SleepImage Ring captures comprehensive sleep data that helps detect sleep disorders, including obstructive and central sleep apnea.
How It Works
The SleepImage Ring is worn on your finger during sleep, streaming data wirelessly to the SleepImage Mobile App on your smartphone. This data includes information on heart rate variability, breathing patterns, and oxygen saturation, providing a detailed picture of your sleep quality. The ring is designed to be comfortable and non-intrusive, allowing you to sleep naturally while it does all the work.
Advanced Sleep Analysis
Once the data is collected, it is automatically uploaded to the SleepImage System, a cloud-based Software as a Medical Device (SaMD). The SleepImage System is FDA-cleared and provides clinical-grade accuracy comparable to polysomnography (PSG), the gold standard in sleep studies typically conducted in a lab setting. This means you can get reliable results at home without the need for multiple wires, uncomfortable sensors, or overnight hospital visits.
The SleepImage Ring not only identifies sleep apnea but also evaluates overall sleep quality by analyzing the state of your Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) during sleep. This advanced analysis can help detect sleep fragmentation, which is linked to cardiovascular stress and poor sleep health.
Why Choose the SleepImage Ring?
- Comfort and Convenience: No more uncomfortable sensors or wires. Just wear the ring, sleep, and let it do the work.
- Accurate Results: Provides clinically validated data comparable to lab-based sleep studies.
- Easy to Use: Simply wear the ring during sleep, and the SleepImage Mobile App will guide you through the process.
- Secure Data: Data is securely transmitted and analyzed in the cloud, ensuring your privacy.
- Instant Reports: Reports are available to your healthcare provider within minutes of completing the study, allowing for prompt feedback and guidance.
