Provider Referrals for Sleep Apnea
Sleep Apnea Consultation
According to the American Medical Association, around 30 million Americans in 2022 are afflicted with sleep apnea, but only 6 million are diagnosed. As healthcare providers, it is essential that we screen and test for sleep apnea due to the many known consequences of untreated sleep apnea such as hypertension, heart attack, stroke, atrial fibrillation, and type 2 diabetes.
There can be multiple obstacles in obtaining sleep studies for proper diagnosis, as well as obtaining devices for treatment. Side Health™ supports this need and helps to overcome these barriers by offering home-sleep testing through WatchPAT. WatchPAT is a Home Sleep Apnea Device (HSAT) that determines the peripheral arterial signal as well as 6 other channels to determine the diagnosis of sleep apnea. It has a 89% correlation to PSG1 and was determined to be technically adequate in the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) Clinical Practice Guidelines.
