Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a temporary cessation of breathing during sleep, which severely impairs quality of life and health. According to the American Association of Sleep Medicine (AASM), this major sleep disorder affects about 12% of the population in the U.S (about 30 million people and 100 million globally), yet 80% of them are undiagnosed.

 

If not diagnosed and treated, they may suffer from obesity, chronic fatigue, depression, diabetes, hypertension, heart attack, heart failure, stroke, traffic accidents, impaired quality of life and more. However, high cost and discomfort of testing is a significant barrier for testing.

 

Frost & Sullivan estimates that undiagnosed Obstructive Sleep Apnea, cost the United States approximately $150 billion in 2015.

• Design and Technology – Small device which keeps it simple. Easy to put on and get data from which will be a huge selling feature. 

 

• Truly wireless - No cables which obstruct sleep, resulting in higher success rates collecting more accurate data from patients. 

​​

• Additional diagnostic data - SleepClip™ provides additional data that allows professionals to truly diagnose sleep disorders (outside of just OSA too). This is novel in Home Sleep Testing (HST)!  Data provided is familiar to sleep professionals unlike some of the others who provide little or no data but just a ‘black box’ diagnosis.

​

• Ease of use and training – so easy to use no training is required unlike our competitors.

​

• Combines advanced technologies - SleepClip™ is Telemedicine compatible. It Incorporates advanced micro sensors, Internet of Things (IOT) and cloud technologies in a compact device.

​

• Maintenance - DormoTech offers a single-patient device with no maintenance, while other devices must be returned to the lab following a home study, often damaged and requiring maintenance.

​

• Assessing time & quality reports – Improves outcome. The software with SleepClip™ will allow users to assess the study in less than 15 minutes with improved report quality.

​

• Chain of custody (COC) – the device is scalable and optional sensors like COC can be added to the standard data set ​

​

• Capital equipment – DormoTech’s SleepClip™ system makes it possible to mass test people practically without limitations. This is due to the fact that each patient receives a disposable device to use for one or more nights. For other Home Sleep Tests (HST) products, the number of tests per night depends on availability of devices at a given time. This is novel. 

​​

• Disruptive Price: Improve cost effectiveness – SleepClip™ improves access and cost to all those involved in the Home sleep testing cycle.
