Check if it is right for you

Is a home test right for you?

Nine short questions, about a minute. It is the STOP-BANG screener, the standard set of questions clinicians use to judge sleep apnea risk, and it tells us whether a home test is the sensible next step. Nothing is sent anywhere until you choose what to do at the end.

Start the screener

How it works

One night. Four steps.

Set up

The device arrives at your door. Follow the instructions to prepare it before bedtime.

Sync

Install the app on your phone and pair it with the device. It takes a couple of minutes.

Sleep

Through the night it records heart rate, oxygen saturation, body movement and more.

Results & treatment

The app uploads your data automatically. Our medical team analyses it, sends your report and, where the study supports it, prescribes treatment such as a CPAP and sets you up with it.

What you can claim back

Ontario. The test is recognised in Ontario, but it is not reimbursed by OHIP. Private insurance may or may not cover it, so check your plan. It is reimbursable through most health spending accounts, so check that too before you pay out of pocket.

Quebec. Most private insurers cover the cost. Check with your provider before purchasing.

Outside Ontario and Quebec. You will need a prescription for a sleep test from your own doctor. You can upload it when you purchase, and everything else works the same way.

The app sends your data automatically. Our medical team analyses it and you receive a report. If the study shows sleep apnea we will talk you through the treatment options, including CPAP and oral appliances.
