The Process

Clarify

We can use a Home Sleep Test (HST) as a screening tool and to help in calibrating our appliances – the diagnosis is done by a Sleep physician. We help to determine if an appointment with a Sleep physician would be needed. We will help the patient make an appointment the day of our follow-up visit.
