1, polysomnography
Polysomnography is also called PSG, it can be in the process of all-night sleep, continuous and synchronized tracing EEG, respiration and other more than 10 indicators, all the records the next day by the automatic analysis of the instrument, and then manually verified item by item. Polysomnography has to be connected to many leads on the patient, and when testing, a sleep doctor is required to be on duty all night long to ensure that this testing process goes smoothly.
2, sleep tester
Sleep tester is also commonly referred to as portable sleep monitor, suitable for people suffering from sleep apnea syndrome, measurement of oxygen saturation, pulse, oral and nasal respiration, tracheal breathing sounds, etc., mainly for home users, to facilitate the patient's home monitoring. Compared with polysomnography, the number of sleep monitor leads is small and sufficient to fully meet the clinical screening of patients who are obviously potential snorers, so it is also called primary screening.
3, electrophysiological parameter recorder
This kind of instrument has a wide range of uses, sleep monitoring is only one of the functions, supporting the neurostimulator, can also be used for teaching and research purposes.
4, sleep monitoring bracelet
Sleep monitoring bracelet is mainly through the MCU and three-axis sensors as the main monitoring equipment, through the monitoring of human body movements to determine whether the person enters the sleep state, through the monitoring of the human body to determine the length of time to determine the depth of sleep, the accuracy of the monitoring of this product is relatively poor.
Sleep monitoring products can improve sleep
Sleep monitoring products can not improve sleep, it can only be used to monitor the sleep condition, used for doctors to analyze and diagnose the condition. Many sleep monitoring products on the market are unreliable, and you can't just trust the manufacturers' self-promotion.
Sleep products are categorized as healthcare-grade and medical-grade, and hospitals have more accurate medical instruments to monitor them. As far as health-grade products are concerned, many aspects are only in the exploratory stage, and if the sleep problem is serious, experts are ultimately needed to make an assessment, so you can't rely on these types of healthcare products when your condition is serious.
Medical sleep instruments can be used to make comprehensive judgments through pulse, temperature, frequency of movement, blood oxygen concentration, and other indicators, and reliable indications are obtained through professional instruments and analyzed through specific software, but such instruments are only used for screening. To further determine the patient's sleep condition, standard sleep monitoring can also be performed, which comprehensively judges the patient's sleep condition by monitoring indicators such as electroencephalogram, electrocardiogram, respiration, snoring, blood oxygen, leg movements and eye movements. Taking sleep disorders as an example, it includes more than 100 kinds of diseases, such as insomnia, sleep apnea syndrome, episodic somnambulism, rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder and so on. For cases of need, sleep monitors are also utilized in the clinic to understand the patient's sleep condition. The instrument is similar to a wristwatch, which the patient wears on his wrist to monitor the time of falling asleep, whether it is in accordance with the doctor's recommendations, the length of sleep, and the sleep position.
