Product Features

Accurate Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) Calculation

The Night Owl collects detailed data to calculate the Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI), which measures how many times per hour breathing is partially or completely blocked during sleep. AHI is critical for diagnosing the severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and determining the right treatment.

Automatic Physician Review and Diagnosis

Once data is collected, it’s sent directly to a licensed physician who reviews the sleep apnea indicators, including AHI, oxygen desaturation, and PAT data, to confirm or rule out an OSA diagnosis and recommend appropriate next steps.

FDA-Cleared for At-Home Sleep Apnea Testing

Night Owl is FDA-cleared to monitor sleep apnea indicators, allowing for home-based evaluation without needing to visit a sleep lab. It’s designed for people 13 and older with a prescription, offering clinical-level data collection while sleeping in a natural environment.

Compact, Lightweight Finger Sensor

The device uses a fingertip sensor that weighs less than an ounce and doesn’t require wristbands or chest belts. It stays securely in place using a comfortable adhesive strap, reducing the risk of sleep disruption and making it easier to complete multi-night testing.

Multi-Night Testing Capability

Night Owl allows for testing over multiple nights to account for variations in sleep patterns. By collecting data across several nights, it helps prevent false negatives that can occur with single-night tests and provides a more accurate representation of apnea severity.

Actigraphy for Sleep and Movement Tracking

An integrated accelerometer monitors actigraphy (body movements) throughout the night to help identify sleep and wake periods. This provides essential context for interpreting oxygen desaturation events and determining accurate Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) scores.

Photoplethysmography (PPG) to Monitor Oxygen Levels

Night Owl uses PPG technology to continuously measure blood oxygen saturation. Drops in oxygen levels are a key indicator of apnea events, making this measurement essential for accurate diagnosis.

Peripheral Arterial Tone (PAT) Analysis

The device measures changes in peripheral arterial tone to detect autonomic nervous system responses to apnea events, such as variations in heart rate and blood pressure. This allows Night Owl to identify apneas even in the absence of major body movements or obvious desaturation events.

Automatic AHI Calculation

The collected data is analyzed to generate the Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI), representing the number of apnea and hypopnea events per hour of sleep. This measurement is central for diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea and assessing its severity.

App-Based Setup and Data Transfer

All device operation is managed through the NightOwl Companion app, available for iOS and Android. The app is used to initiate recordings, monitor device status, and automatically transmit test data to a physician for review.

Secure Data Transmission to Healthcare Providers

Once testing is completed, results are uploaded securely through the app and made available for physicians to review. This ensures that diagnosis and treatment recommendations are based on medically reviewed data.

Minimal Setup Process

Setup involves attaching the sensor to the fingertip, pairing with the app, and starting the recording. No additional wires or complicated calibration are needed, and setup is typically completed within minutes.

Detailed Sleep and Health Questionnaire Integration

Prior to the test, users complete a health questionnaire in the app, covering key areas like snoring patterns, daytime sleepiness, and other symptoms. This information helps physicians interpret test results in context.

Minimal Impact on Sleep Behavior

Unlike traditional polysomnography, Night Owl uses a single contact point and does not require users to wear headbands, belts, or microphones. This reduces the risk of altering natural sleep patterns, which can affect test accuracy.

Direct Integration with Medical Review

After submitting the test data, users receive a formal review and interpretation from a licensed physician, including a diagnosis if appropriate. Based on these results, doctors can prescribe therapy or recommend further evaluation.

No Need for In-Lab Sleep Study for Most Users

For many patients, Night Owl provides sufficient diagnostic information to avoid costly and inconvenient in-lab sleep studies, streamlining access to diagnosis and treatment.

App-Integrated Patient Feedback on Sleep Quality

Each morning after testing, the app prompts users to report subjective sleep quality, which can be reviewed alongside objective data to guide clinical interpretation and treatment planning.

Data Storage for Repeated Review

Night Owl stores historical data within the app, allowing patients and providers to review previous nights’ results and assess therapy response over time if needed.

Continuous Oxygen Saturation Monitoring

Using photoplethysmography (PPG), Night Owl tracks blood oxygen levels throughout the night. Drops in oxygen saturation indicate apnea or hypopnea events, helping clinicians assess how sleep apnea affects oxygen delivery to the body.

Peripheral Arterial Tone (PAT) for Event Detection

The device measures changes in arterial tone, which are signals from the autonomic nervous system that reflect respiratory effort and apneic events. PAT analysis adds an important layer of sensitivity, detecting events that might not cause large oxygen drops but still disrupt sleep.

Actigraphy to Detect Sleep-Wake Patterns

Night Owl monitors body movement to determine when you’re asleep or awake. This is essential for accurate sleep apnea assessment because it ensures events are only counted when the user is actually sleeping, avoiding false readings.

Multi-Night Data for More Reliable Diagnosis

Since OSA can fluctuate, the option to gather data over several nights helps reveal patterns that a single-night test might miss. This is especially useful in borderline cases where severity may vary, allowing for a more thorough analysis.

Minimal Contact for Natural Sleep

By using only a fingertip sensor, Night Owl avoids bulky equipment that can interfere with normal sleep, helping to ensure that the apnea-related data reflects typical sleep patterns, which is essential for accurate diagnosis.

Important Tips

  • Complete the online questionnaire and virtual appointment to confirm if the Night Owl sleep test is right for you.
  • If eligible, receive and set up the fingertip sensor using the Night Owl Companion app—no belts or wires needed.
  • Use the sensor for multiple nights to capture comprehensive sleep data, including oxygen levels, movement, and apnea events.
  • Ensure the sensor is securely attached to avoid interruptions and collect accurate results.
  • After testing, data is automatically sent to a licensed physician for review and diagnosis.
  • Receive a full sleep report with Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) and personalized therapy recommendations, if needed.
  • Use Night Owl’s app to review past nights' results and monitor your progress over time.
  • The fingertip design minimizes disruption to your natural sleep, making results more accurate than traditional in-lab studies.
  • Ensure a stable Bluetooth connection between the Night Owl sensor and your smartphone during testing.
  • Review the physician’s feedback and prescription through the app, and proceed to order the recommended CPAP equipment if diagnosed.
