News: Wireless Sleep Lab
As seen on eHealth News:
That sounds a lot more pleasant than a fully wired PSG! Technology like this can make the diagnosis process a lot easier for sleep apnoea patients.
Did you have to 'suffer' an overnight Polysomnography study or an in-home test alone?

Wireless technology is also the key to progress at the stand of the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems (Stand B13). Not for diabetics in this case, but for sufferers from so-called "sleep apnoea syndrome". Hitherto these patients have had to travel to a specialized sleep laboratory to be diagnosed, where they get wired up with dozens of sensors and have to stay in bed for up to two days. The Fraunhofer Institute's "Sleep-Bee" prototype for a multi-sensor sleep monitoring system for outpatients shows that there is another way, with wireless technology spelling the end of all those cumbersome cables. And because this makes the whole system so much simpler to operate, patients can carry out the tests at home, in the comfort of their own beds.
