What the device measures

Home sleep testing devices typically record airflow, breathing effort, blood-oxygen levels, and heart rate — the signals used to identify obstructive sleep apnea. Because you test in your normal sleep environment, the experience is far more comfortable than an overnight lab stay. See how results lead to a diagnosis and what your results mean.
