We recommend an at-home sleep test for:

• Individuals with low energy or fatigue during the day, who are not feeling rested in the morning or easily fall asleep during the day
• Individuals who snore loudly or gasp for air in their sleep
• Anyone who exhibits other symptoms of moderate to severe sleep apnea
• Anyone who wants to complete a sleep study but wants a more affordable and convenient option than a sleep lab
• Individuals with health complications such as: high BMI index and/or symptoms of anxiety, ADHD, hypertension, and diabetes

People who suspect they might have at least one other sleep disorder besides sleep apnea, or possibly a different one, should consult with a physician and discuss whether an in-lab study is recommended.

Snoring may not only be uncomfortable for you and your bed partner, but is also a Sleep Apnea warning sign. Both could be caused by obstructed airways, and often occur at the same time.

We help to analyze your sleep at home and suggest a personalized treatment.

Fixing snoring & Sleep Apnea can result in reduction of daytime fatigue, higher energy levels and improved performance.

We completely understand - sleep studies create anxiety, which makes it even harder to sleep. That's why Empower Sleep uses convenient and comfortable sleep tests that can be used for multiple nights. You'll have enough time to get comfortable with the experience.

Also, every night is different, and Empower Sleep recommends testing for at least three nights to account for intra-night variability. Research suggests that multi-night testing results in a more accurate diagnosis.

The SleepImage test is an FDA-approved Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) that analyzes your pulse and blood oxygenation signals to detect pauses and partial reduction in breathing. SleepImage also uses a Cardio Pulmonary Coupling (CPC) analysis to provide additional metrics that help determine sleep apnea treatment efficacy.

The sensor data is sent directly to your sleep physician from your cell phone's Bluetooth. The sleep physician will have access to your data and can make personalized recommendations based on your results.

Sleep should be measured across long-term trends, not a single night. The probability of misdiagnosis in a single night test ranges from 20% to 50% (study 1, study 2). Clinical studies have shown that the accuracy of a sleep test increases with the number of nights tested. With Empower Sleep, you can complete up to 14 nights of sleep testing.

Yes! Central and Obstructive Sleep apnea can be diagnosed through a home sleep test. Modern sleep tests are highly accurate and taking the test sleep at home models natural sleeping conditions.

The SleepImage multi-night at-home sleep test has been certified by the FDA and is shown to agree with results from an In-lab sleep test (Polysomnography) in 96.3% of mild sleep apnea tests, 90.5% of moderate sleep apnea tests, and 98.8% of severe sleep apnea tests (source).

In the United States, a CPAP machine is a federally regulated medical device that requires a prescription. Also, a medical doctor's diagnosis is necessary to secure insurance coverage for certain dental sleep appliances.

To obtain a prescription, one must complete an at-home or in-lab sleep study.

The SleepImage multi-night at-home test has been certified by the FDA and is shown to agree with results from in-lab sleep tests (Polysomnography) in 96.3% of mild sleep apnea cases, 90.5% of moderate sleep apnea cases, and 98.8% of severe sleep apnea cases (source)

While recent clinical studies (study 1, study 2) demonstrate the importance of multi-night sleep tests, insurance coverage of multi-night sleep tests has lagged behind. If you plan to submit the expense or the results of an Empower Sleep home sleep test to your health insurance, you should consult with your insurance plan before purchasing the sleep test.

You can also utilize your HSA or FSA to cover the sleep test costs.

The SleepImage ring will track your pulse and blood oxygenation levels during your home sleep test. The results will be shared with your doctor through your phone's Bluetooth. Your doctor will then review the data, develop your diagnosis, and create your personalized care plan.

The Empower Sleep care team takes into account sleep apnea related indexes (AHI, RDI, ODI), as well as quality parameters in crafting your care plan. Parameters include but are not restricted to your health history, symptoms, the amount of sleep in each sleep stage, the amount of stable sleep, and your overall sleep architecture.

Empower Sleep's multi-night sleep test costs $299 USD, which is significantly cheaper than a traditional in-lab sleep test. An in-lab sleep test can cost from $1,000 USD to $7,000 USD.

Please note we collect a $300 refundable deposit upfront. The deposit is refunded when the device is returned using the included shipping label and packaging.
