Watch PAT

The Watch PAT Sleep Assessment Device is now available for patient use. It will allow us to monitor improvements with Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) therapy devices like the Somnodent.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with significant morbidity and those suffering from OSA often exhibit abnormal sleep architecture. REM sleep may be greatly reduced or absent in moderate to severe cases of OSA. REM and dreaming are necessary for healthy brain function. Proper REM sleep facilitates consolidation of memory, stimulation of the brain and the solving of daytime problems and conflicts. REM deprivation causes memory disruption and impairs the recollection of newly learned material. REM sleep detection is a fundamental aspect in the correct analysis of a sleep study.
