Sleep Testing Services Market

Sleep testing has become a common method of diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea. It is an important diagnostic tool because it helps in the identification of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. It is performed by placing monitors on the patient's body at specific times during the night and recording the data. This data is essential in determining the causes of the condition and the need for treatment.

Sleep apnea is a potentially serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts. The sleep testing services market is driven by high prevalence of sleep apnea. According to the study, ‘Estimation of the global prevalence and burden of obstructive sleep apnea: a literature-based analysis’, published in July 2019, 936 million adults aged 30–69 years have mild to severe obstructive sleep apnea and 425 million adults aged 30–69 years have moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea globally.

An EEG (electroencephalograph) is used to monitor brain waves during your sleep. A frequency is sent by the electrodes to the earphones that allow the technician to listen to the brain waves. The sleep stage is determined by the brain waves. If you exhibit falling into one of the sleep stages, the electrodes will give a low or high frequency signal, which is decoded by the computer and compared with patterns in your sleep videotapes.

Players in the sleep testing services market may focus on offering clinical-grade diagnostic technologies at a low cost. In February 2021, Vivos Therapeutics, Inc., a medical technology company, launched VivoScoreTM, powered by SleepImage for home sleep apnea testing in children and adults.

At-home sleep testing services is a new trend in the sleep testing services market, due to the emergence of Covid-19. Globally, as of 5:04pm CET, 11 March 2021, there have been 117,799,584 confirmed cases of COVID-19, including 2,615,018 deaths, as reported to the World Health Organization. As of 10 March 2021, a total of 300,002,228 vaccine doses have been administered.

As the pandemic continues to spread, players in the sleep testing services market are focused on development and launch of home sleep testing devices. In October 2020, WatchPAT 300 Home Sleep Apnea Testing device, a flagship product of Itamar Medical, a medical device and digital health company, was granted PMDA approval for use in the Japanese market, effective September 14, 2020.
