If you’re in Brisbane and hesitate about having a sleep apnea test in a sleep lab or hospital, then why not consider an in-home sleep study? In all our home sleep study Brisbane clinics, we use the latest portable 16-lead channel diagnostic technology which meets all the standards required for a home sleep study covered by Medicare.

Living with untreated sleep apnea can be disruptive enough – you shouldn’t have to worry about disrupting your life even more to get the testing and treatment you need.

Sleep apnea is a serious condition that occurs when your breathing repeatedly starts and stops during sleep. According to the Australian Sleep Health Foundation, an estimated 2.5 million Australians suffer from sleep apnea, and a further unknown number that go undiagnosed.

There are two types of sleep studies — in-lab and at-home.

1. In-lab or in-hospital sleep studies are conducted in a sleep center or hospital with trained medical staff on hand to monitor patients throughout the night.
2. Portable or at-home sleep studies are less invasive and can be done in the comfort of your own bed.

A portable, home sleep study is sufficient to diagnose sleep apnea. If a patient meets certain requirements, the study is covered by Medicare.

At Sleep Study Brisbane, a portable sleep study uses state-of-the-art equipment to monitor sleep patterns and breathing. The data from your study will be sent wirelessly to one of our board-certified Respiratory and Sleep Specialists.

With an at-home sleep study Brisbane, there are two ways of getting one done:

• In the south and west Brisbane Logan and Ipswich areas, please contact Nexus Healthcare or a clinic or arrange for a sleep technician to visit your home in the early evening.
• In the north and east Brisbane, please contact Capalaba Medical Centre to make an appointment.

Portable sleep studies have many benefits, including convenience, lower cost, and minimal disruption to your daily routine.

It can be a more convenient option for patients who prefer not to be tested overnight in a hospital or sleep lab environment.

You can stick to your normal routine and just go about your nightly activities as usual.  There is no need to travel to a sleep center or spend the night away from home.

At-home sleep studies Brisbane are covered by Medicare which means you only have a small out-of-pocket fee to pay your sleep technician or the medical centre.  In addition, you won’t have to pay for a hotel room or transportation to and from the sleep center.

If you think you may have sleep apnea, talk to your doctor about whether a portable sleep study is right for you. A portable sleep study is a convenient, less expensive option that can help you get the treatment you need with minimal disruption to your life.
