Sleep Apnea Testing identifies obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a condition that causes breathing interruptions during sleep and can lead to daytime fatigue that impairs alertness and reaction time. For commercial drivers and safety-sensitive workers, undiagnosed sleep apnea poses significant safety risks.
Home sleep apnea testing (HSAT) is a convenient alternative to in-lab polysomnography for most patients. The portable device is worn at home for one or more nights and measures breathing patterns, oxygen levels, and other indicators of sleep apnea.
BlueHive coordinates sleep apnea testing with interpretation by board-certified sleep medicine physicians, helping employers identify and manage this important safety risk.
