Home Sleep Study is getting more and more popular in India. There is more awareness in public about the dangers of snoring and sleep apnea.
In order to diagnose Sleep Apnea or other sleep disorders, a patient must undergo a polysomnography (PSG or sleep study). This is typically done in a sleep lab, requiring the patient to spend the night in-lab, while the polysomnography (PSG) equipment records his/her physiological data.
However, today with technological advancements a polysomnograpy can be performed at home and is called home sleep testing. Now thanks to modern technological advances, domiciliary home sleep study is possible at your own comfort at your own home.
Advantages of Home sleep Study
1. The patient is able to spend the night in the patient\’s own bed in familiar surroundings, reducing first night effect.
2. Home sleep testing can be especially advantageous to the home-bound, elderly, or those with chronic illness, who require specialized care such as a nurse or family member spending the night, expensive transportation costs, etc. It is also beneficial for those with trouble arranging time out of their schedules to spend the night in-lab.
3. The typical cost of a home sleep test is only a fraction of the cost of an in-lab sleep test, and typically yields similar results in the diagnosis of Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
Cost of Home Sleep Study in Kerala. Rs 5000 (plain study)-Rs 6500 (with ECG and EEG) (approx)
