Think you might have Sleep Apnea? Yes you know that you need to go do that awful sleep study in some foreign uncomfortable bed. Well while you are trying to decide if you are going to subject yourself to the test…..I Phone to the rescue. Yes there is an app that can help determine if you are indeed experiencing sleep apnea.

The people at Excelltech have created the app Sleep Analyzer. With installed on your I Phone it will record the disruptions that you experience during your night of sleep. It will store up to one month of data and then it will provide an analysis of the information it has gathered.

Obviously this is not the ideal way to have a disease such as sleep apnea diagnosed. You can take the information collected by the app and share it with your primary care physician. Sleep Apnea is a serious disease that should not be taken lightly. If you have any questions regarding Sleep Apnea, please do not hesitate to contact us. Please call at us 561-394-9000 to get you on the path to a healthy nights sleep.
