Northern Home Sleep Testing is the only in-home sleep testing provider in Northern Ontario
For millions of Canadians, sleep disorders cast a long shadow over their lives, impacting their health, productivity, and overall well-being. According to the Canadian Sleep Society, approximately 40% of Canadians suffer some form of sleep disorder, with insomnia, sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, and narcolepsy being the most common.
The way it works is that Chantal Tremblay will prepare a package that a patient can pick up at her Sudbury home office. Inside, is a device about the size of a cell phone, which wraps around a sleep test patient’s chest. A finger probe will measure their oxygen level while a nasal cannula will measure respiration. Tremblay says, “It’s a take home test with only three sensors that need to be worn for one night in the comfort of your own bed.
The cost of the Home Sleep Apnea Test or Level III study is currently $175 and is not covered by OHIP in Ontario, one of the few jurisdictions in Canada that does not cover the cost of the sleep test. If an individual has moderate sleep apnea with bad snoring, they can get a Mandibular Advancement Device made by a dentist which will pull their jaw forward to stop the loud snoring. All the patient needs are a prescription from the healthcare provider and a copy of the home test.
