SAN DIEGO – Medtrade exhibitor Resmed has launched NightOwl™, a new home sleep apnea test (HSAT) that is now available across the United States. NightOwl is an FDA-cleared HSAT designed to offer healthcare providers a simplified, accurate, and efficient way to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) from the comfort of an individual’s home.

NightOwl makes it easy to detect OSA with a small sensor worn on the fingertip and simple, easy-to-use digital platforms for both individuals and providers. By making OSA testing more convenient and accessible, NightOwl supports Resmed’s vision to help people achieve their full potential through better sleep and breathing, with care delivered in their own home.

“Now more than ever, people want healthcare experiences that are easy, convenient, and accessible, however, navigating sleep apnea testing can be complex,” said Carlos M. Nunez, M.D., chief medical officer at Resmed. “With NightOwl, people can easily complete a sleep apnea test from the comfort of home using just a fingertip sensor and a smartphone. It also simplifies the process for providers. This is a meaningful step forward in Resmed’s mission to deliver life-changing health technology that people love.”

NightOwl is a disposable HSAT device that records up to 10 nights of sleep data for a single patient, capturing night-to-night variability and providing clinicians with a comprehensive view of an individual’s sleep patterns. Sleep data is sent remotely to a cloud-based diagnostic platform for physician analysis and review, enabling quick interpretation, streamlining diagnostic workflows, and helping individuals receive more timely diagnoses, if applicable.
