Microsoft Getting into Home Testing OSA?
Monitoring and Diagnosing Sleep Apnea in the Home
Kristin Tolle, Microsoft Research
This talk focuses on technology being developed in the Microsoft Research hardware team to help diagnoses sleep apnea and other sleeping disturbances. For proper diagnosis, patients typically must check into a sleep clinic (hospital) for monitoring. By reinstrumenting many of the sensors used in this controlled environment into a neck cuff, we posit that we can generate accurate predictions of sleep apnea (and with multiple data points) in the comfort of a subject's home.

Giggle. You think it takes forever now to get the results of your in-lab sleep study??? Think of how each new issue of Windows takes longer to load than the one before! And think of Vista! *wicked grin*

I was diagnosed by an at-home sleep study. I wore a little machine called a WatchPAT 200. I haven't seen this mentioned elsewhere in this forum in my reading so far. I thought it was very cool.

Moe-jo: you're one of the very few patients out there to have been diagnosed by an at-home sleep study. would you mind posting a separate thread on how you made the choice, whether it was your doctor's idea, how much your insurance covered, etc? i think it would be very interesting for folks on the forum to hear more about your experience.

Wonder what the product will be called? Microsoft Somnia 2010? Will I get it in a pharmacy or in a bookstore? Will I need to apply patches to it before I use it? etc.
