Using Infrared to Diagnose Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea, something that has been a bane for most people can only be fully studied and diagnosed using the standard procedure of measuring nasal pressure through sensors placed in the nose. This is entirely uncomfortable and people just have to bear with it to gain the necessary treatment of the said sleep problem.
Today, the use of remote-controlled infrared diagnostic tests provides an alternative and convenient way of diagnosing sleep apnea among sleep deprived patients.
“Polysomnography is a diagnostic test, which establishes the presence or absence of sleep disorders. But standard methods have the potential to significantly disturb a patient’s sleep pattern, so what we see in the lab may not be a true representation of the patient’s sleep habits,” said lead study author Jayasimha Murthy, MD, Assistant Professor of Medicine, University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, TX. “However, remote infrared imaging is a noncontact method, so there is minimal interference with the patient. In fact, this system can be designed to where the patient isn’t even aware that monitoring is taking place.”
