Discover the WatchPAT, a cutting-edge technology approved by Health Canada, offering 98% diagnostic accuracy. Easy to use, the device collects data and instantly generates a detailed report sent directly to our clinic—no appointment with a professional required. Delivered straight to your door within 72 business hours, the device is also covered by most private insurance plans.
This device is designed to be used safely in the comfort of your home (for single use). In addition to being simple and reliable, it does not require an in-person consultation and is fully recyclable. Once your data has been received and analyzed, you will receive an email with your results, including a report interpreted by a pulmonologist.
To return your device, you have two options.
The first option is to participate in the free WatchPAT recovery program. By following this link, you can instantly generate a return label (via Canada Post) to print. Once printed, you can drop off the device for free at any Canada Post office.
The second option is to remove the device’s batteries and drop it off at a local recycling center (Eco Center), where it will be recycled like any other electronic device or household battery.
Once this step is completed, you will receive an email containing your results along with a detailed report from the pulmonologist. The report is typically sent by the pulmonologist within 2 to 4 weeks.
Yes, one night with the WatchPAT is generally sufficient to provide accurate results. The device calculates the AHI (Apnea-Hypopnea Index) and the RDI (Respiratory Disturbance Index) based on your actual sleep time rather than the total recording time. This approach reduces the risk of a misdiagnosis of sleep apnea by up to 20%, unlike other sleep tests that may require multiple attempts to achieve an accurate diagnosis.
The WatchPAT report will include several key pieces of information to assess the quality of your sleep and the severity of your apnea. It will feature the AHI (Apnea-Hypopnea Index) and the CAI (Central Apnea Index), which measure obstructive and central events per hour, respectively. The report will also detail the total number of apnea episodes, the intensity of snoring, and body position during the night. Additionally, it will present graphs of your sleep stages (wake, light sleep, deep sleep, and REM sleep), along with statistics on your heart rate and oxygen saturation. Lastly, it will include a graphical representation of respiratory events (RDI) and an AHI severity scale to determine the level of your sleep apnea.
The timeframe to receive your interpreted report from the pulmonologist is generally 2 to 3 weeks after you have completed your test.
