While the WatchPat device offers a diagnosis of sleep apnea that is acknowledged by organizations such as the AASM, it is not recognized by the province of Ontario. Therefore, this test is not eligible for reimbursement by private or public insurers. To receive government assistance for purchasing a CPAP device, Ontario residents must obtain a diagnosis from a laboratory licensed by the Independent Health Facilities (IHF)

The WatchPAT ONE is a home sleep apnea test device designed for simplicity, accuracy, and reliability. It uses a smartphone app to transmit sleep data to the cloud, enabling a clinician to review the automated study results.

The WatchPAT ONE measures various sleep parameters through seven channels. It calculates the Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) and Respiratory Disturbance Index (RDI) using the patient’s True Sleep Time, providing a more accurate diagnosis.

True Sleep Time: Uses the patient’s actual sleep time instead of total recording time.

Sleep Architecture: Provides information on sleep stages, including sleep efficiency, sleep latency, and REM latency.

REM Detection: Identifies REM-related sleep apnea.

Apnea Detection: Accurately detects all types of apnea events, including Central Sleep Apnea (CSA) and Cheyne-Stokes Respiration.

The WatchPAT ONE is suitable for adults who need a home sleep apnea test. It should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

The WatchPAT ONE is clinically validated and has been proven to provide accurate detection of sleep apnea events and sleep architecture. It reduces the risk of misdiagnosis by using True Sleep Time.

You can purchase the WatchPAT ONE from Dorma Lab’s website using the form to the right. After receiving the device, download the smartphone app, follow the setup instructions, and start the sleep study. The app will transmit the data to the cloud for clinician review.
