How Home Sleep Evaluation Services Work:

Home sleep evaluations involve the use of a portable monitoring device that patients use overnight in their own bed. The process is straightforward:

1. Consultation: Our sleep specialists conduct an initial consultation to assess symptoms and determine if a home sleep evaluation is appropriate.
2. Device Setup: Patients are provided with a portable sleep monitoring device, along with detailed instructions on how to set it up. The device typically measures parameters such as heart rate, breathing patterns, blood oxygen levels, and body movements.
3. Sleep Study Night: Patients follow their normal bedtime routine and use the device while they sleep. The device records critical data that will be analyzed by our sleep specialists.
4. Device Return and Data Analysis: After the sleep study, patients return the device to TrueCare Medical. Our specialists analyze the data to diagnose potential sleep disorders such as sleep apnea.
