Unmanaged sleep apnea doesn’t just disturb your nights — it impacts your productivity, mood, blood pressure, and heart health. At Ikshana, we are committed to helping you regain restful nights and healthier mornings.
Whether you’re an adult suffering from fatigue or a partner concerned about snoring, we are here to help you take the next step toward healing — at home, with compassion and clinical precision.
A Home Sleep Apnea Test (HSAT or HST) is a safe, affordable, and convenient way to screen for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)—right from the comfort of your own home. At Ikshana Home Healthcare, Dubai, we offer medically approved, user-friendly home sleep testing kits that help you avoid the discomfort of a hospital-based sleep lab.
Unlike in-lab polysomnography (Type 1 or Type 2 tests), home tests fall under Type 3 or Type 4 classifications, meaning they record essential sleep-related data without requiring you to stay overnight in a clinic. While home tests are ideal for identifying moderate to severe sleep apnea, they may not detect all forms of sleep disorders, especially milder cases or non-respiratory sleep conditions.
The specific equipment used depends on the device prescribed by our physician. Most home sleep tests may include:
The testing process is simple and usually follows these five steps:
Schedule an appointment with our licensed physician. If you are experiencing symptoms of sleep apnea (loud snoring, daytime fatigue, choking during sleep), a home sleep test may be recommended.
Once prescribed, you will receive a compact testing kit either delivered to your home or collected from our clinic. A trained staff member will guide you on how to set it up.
Wear the sensors as instructed and sleep in your usual environment. Avoid caffeine and alcohol on the night of the test, and ask your doctor about taking any regular sleep medications.
After completing the test, return the device to us (unless it’s a single-use kit). We will download and analyse the data collected during your sleep.
Our physician will review the findings and explain the results. If sleep apnoea is confirmed, a personalized treatment plan—including CPAP therapy or further diagnostic steps—will be recommended.
Depending on the type, your sleep apnea test will typically record:
Additional parameters such as snoring intensity, chest movement, and body position may also be captured.
A home sleep test is ideal if:
However, if you are suspected to have:
…then an in-lab polysomnography may be more appropriate.
In Dubai, home sleep tests are generally cost-effective compared to sleep lab testing.
