The Future of Wireless Home Sleep Testing is Here adminJuly 28, 2023 Onera Separately, Onera BV designed a patch sleep test. It has a CE mark, allowing sales in Europe, and is pending FDA approval. Many health tech companies developing these compact, wireless diagnostic devices say that their goal is to increase access to sleep testing. Some also envision a future in which sleep tests will not be reserved only for people with suspected sleep apnea but rather be available to the public at large. “Sleep is a vital sign to health,” SleepImage’s Magnusdottir says. “Our hope is that everyone can have access to a sleep test. We hope to be able to implement sleep testing, like a blood pressure monitor, to improve the health of everyone.” Lisa Spear is associate editor of Sleep Review. References 1.
