Thanks to all who have mentioned proprietary devices for home assessment. It’s a fascinating area and moves quite quickly. In our experience when we compare an in-hospital PSG (the gold standard) against wearable devices there’s an OK correlation but not great, and almost all the commercial products have ‘black box’ algorithms that can change with software updates and don’t play nicely with AASM definitions of what is, for instance, obstructive sleep apnoea.
