Possibly. But you need continuous sp02 monitoring, whereas fitbits only do it a few times per hour.

A take home sleep test is easy and is covered by insurance.




>A take home sleep test is easy and is covered by insurance

Do you know of any other alternatives for sleep tests that are not covered by insurance? Because the reality is sleep study in the United States is incredibly expensive. I did a sleep study and the insurance billed my company over $50,000 and a take home test was 2.5 grand.


that seems like inflated pricing. there are solutions from the internet for hsat (lofta and night owl) that used standardized devices. If you want a psg, there's a place in sacramento (axg sleep diagnostics) that will mail you the psg device for a night, for around 600.

My hsat was covered by insurance, but I had to self fund psg and my insurance wouldn't pay for it. My sleep specialist quoted 3k, I went with axg sleep diagnostics.
