A new iPhone app makes it easier for patients to determine whether they are suffering from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and get connected to a medical professional who can help them.
With MSleepTest, a quick tap, a recorded sound bite, and a few series of questions connects patients with a sleep professional in your area for further testing.
The app developer, Sleep Group Solutions, came up with the idea to increase awareness of sleep apnea, leading to more attainable treatment. Sleep Group Solutions has been offering dental continuing education courses for seven years, teaching dentists how to screen and treat sleep apnea in-house through oral appliance therapy.
"This app acts as an initial screener for OSA," said Rani Ben-David, president of Sleep Group Solutions. "After you go through all the steps, it connects you with a sleep professional in your area who can help you."
To download the app, visit MSleepTest website.
