SleepImage Patient
This test was ordered by your physician to evaluate for a condition known as
Sleep Apnea, where you stop breathing or have shallow breathing during your
sleep. This simple-to-use test will record a number of parameters while you
sleep to help confirm this diagnosis. The Sleep Image Ring requires an Apple
or Android smartphone or tablet with internet access. You must install the
Sleep
Image app on your device in order to complete testing. The smartphone collects
the recording, then uploads the study automatically to the sleep image
website. The sleeping App does not store information on the user’s identity or
location. All data in the app is de-identified.
If you do not have a compatible smartphone or tablet, please contact Virtuox
support to request a different device, and IMMEDIATELY return this device in
the enclosed packaging.
