Has anyone had a WatchPat study performed. I'm scheduled to have one this coming Monday.

Kaiser uses it routinely for their Kaiser insured patients to initially diagnose sleep apnea.
So it is fairly widely used and a decent home study and more complete with more channels of data than some of the more basic home sleep studies gather.

Yes, tested through Kaiser. I don’t think I ever would have gone through with an in lab sleep test so it was the best for me. And I think it makes a lot of sense to be tested in your own bed and sleeping conditions. It was not intrusive and produced a lot of data.
