Sleep Study Market Trends

Sleep Study Market Trends

• The growing use of telehealth services in sleep studies is enabling remote monitoring and virtual consultations, making sleep studies more accessible and convenient. This is particularly beneficial for the geriatric population, which is significantly affected by sleep disorders. Telemedicine plays a crucial role in the management of sleep disorders, particularly sleep apnea and insomnia through facilitating remote monitoring of CPAP therapy, allowing for the tracking of key parameters such as pressure, air leaks, apnea-hypopnea index, and patient compliance.
   
• Moreover, vendors offering sleep study services are leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning tools for efficiently analyzing sleep data, providing accurate diagnosis, and preparing personalized treatment plans. According to a December 2023 study published by National Center for Biotechnology Information, artificial intelligence is being significantly used for sleep staging, respiratory events scoring, insomnia characterization, prediction of circadian rhythm from gene expression, and phenotyping of OSA.
   
• Adoption of portable and wearable devices in sleep monitoring has increased in sleep studies owing to their convenience, affordability, and ability to measure sleep variables in a natural environment. According to a study published by National Center for Biotechnology Information in April 2024, patients are more frequently sharing sleep data obtained from their wearable devices with healthcare providers, and the growing accessibility of commercial devices and advanced research/clinical tools has spurred the widespread integration of wearables in research.
