Monitoring and integration of cardio, respiratory and neural variables during sleep

This Philips Respironics sponsored educational activity will explore new and novel ways to measure sleep. New diagnostics being brought to patient’s homes is a forthcoming reality. In the area of sleep apnea, home sleep testing has already largely taken over, except for children and those with complex medical comorbidities and neurological disease, etc. 

In this webinar, Dr. Somers will present “Approaches to monitoring the cardiovascular system during sleep.” This presentation will help define potential options for the remote monitoring of cardiac signals during sleep. It will also support the evaluation of how integration of these signals could be utilized in improving prevention, diagnosis and therapy of sleep related diseases. 

Dr. St. Louis will present “Monitoring, breathing, brainwaves, etc. - what's available, and how accurate is it?” which will discuss the range of currently available home sleep and sleep-disturbed breathing diagnostics and their accuracy compared to in-laboratory polysomnography. Additionally, it will present how to attempt to apply home sleep devices toward better understanding of the complex relationships between sleep and health, and cardiovascular and neurological diseases.
