A home based sleep study captures all the important information as that of a lab based sleep study. The compact nature of the equipment means that if you need to move at night there is no need for a sleep technician to unplug you from the equipment. Snoring is captured by sound wave- not actual sound recording so your privacy is assured. A home based study is far more comfortable than the lab based study. Our home delivery system means ultimate convenience for you. You do not have to sleep in a strange bed in a hospital.

A lab based study requires a sleep technician to be present all night. These studies are better suited to children who need supervision. Audio and video devices hear and see everything you do all night, as well as someone watching you all night.
