Diagnostic Sleep Study
Our diagnostic sleep study makes it easy to support patients with sleep-related breathing disorders. When a patient presents symptoms that could point to a breathing issue, simply submit a quick online referral.
Within two working days, we’ll courier a TGA-approved diagnostic unit straight to your patient’s door, and you’ll receive a report within five working days of them completing the study. No more waiting for GPs to submit a referral on your behalf – our process is fast, straightforward, and backed by dentists and doctors alike.
About our Sleep Study
We use the WatchPAT ONE device, a TGA-approved, clinically validated diagnostic sleep study trusted by leading sleep physicians and shown to have an 89% correlation to in-lab polysomnography. The diagnostic unit is small, comfortable, and easy for patients to use, with just three points of contact: wrist, finger, and chest.
Why WatchPAT ONE?
True sleep time for accurate results
Unlike many home obstructive sleep apnoea tests, WatchPAT calculates Apnoa-Hypopnoea Index (AHI) and Respiratory Disturbance Index (RDI) using true sleep time, not just the total recording time. This significantly reduces the risk of misdiagnosis or misclassification, which can be as high as 20% when only recorded time is used.
Sleep architecture insights
The WatchPAT ONE diagnostic sleep study goes beyond simple apnoea detection. It provides validated sleep staging data, including sleep efficiency, sleep latency, and REM latency. It can also identify REM-related obstructive sleep apnoea by measuring both REM and non-REM AHI.
Central sleep apnoea detection
With the Central PLUS module, WatchPAT ONE can identify all types of apnoea events, including central sleep apnoea (CSA) and Cheyne-Stokes respiration, and report the percentage of sleep time affected.
Fully disposable
The WatchPAT ONE is a single-use, fully disposable device, which means there’s no need for your patients to return, clean or recharge it after the study. Each unit is brand new and ready to go, straight out of the box.
WatchPAT ONE Reporting
Each WatchPAT ONE report is delivered digitally within five working days of study completion and includes:
- AHI and Central AHI results.
- Apnoea episode tracking.
- Snoring and body position analysis.
- Oxygen saturation and heart rate trends.
- Sleep stage breakdown (both REM and non-REM).
- Body position statistics and graphics.
- Snoring and respiratory index charts.
- AHI severity scale.
Simply submit an online referral and we’ll deliver the WatchPAT ONE device to your patient. The referral process is 100% online and only takes a few minutes.
