<p>OSAsense has developed a platform that allows patients to be screened for sleep apnea at home in an accessible, fast, and cost-effective manner.  </p><h3>Improving the Diagnosis of Sleep Apnea</h3><p>The diagnosis of sleep apnea for patients can be improved. Currently, it appears that 20% to 35% of patients referred to the hospital with suspected sleep apnea do not actually have the condition. At the same time, studies show that there are many people in the Netherlands who suffer from sleep apnea without receiving treatment, even though they often experience negative health effects. The current method for diagnosing sleep apnea is complex, time-consuming, and costly.  The OSAsense test consists of an overnight oxygen saturation measurement and actigraphy (tracking movement during sleep). To assess the patient’s symptoms, the startup uses several internationally validated questionnaires. OSAsense automatically generates a recommendation report that enables the healthcare provider to provide the patient with the best possible care.</p><p>Founder: Rob Mentink</p><p> </p>
